President Joe Biden's frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been growing, as evidenced by a recent exchange captured on a hot mic. Following his State of the Union address, Biden was overheard discussing the need for a serious conversation with Netanyahu regarding humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
During a conversation with a senator, Biden mentioned that he had informed Netanyahu of the upcoming 'come to Jesus meeting.' The president's comments highlighted his increasing impatience with the Israeli government's reluctance to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The United Nations has raised alarms about the dire situation in Gaza, where a lack of food and essential supplies has left the population in desperate need. Biden has been vocal about the need for Israel to facilitate the delivery of aid to Gaza, emphasizing that humanitarian assistance should not be used as a bargaining tool.
In response to the crisis, Biden announced plans to establish a temporary pier to enhance the flow of aid into Gaza. Additionally, the U.S. military has initiated air drops of aid to provide immediate relief to the affected population.
By taking these steps, Biden aims to significantly increase the amount of humanitarian assistance reaching Gaza and alleviate the suffering of its residents. The president's efforts underscore the urgency of addressing the humanitarian crisis while navigating the complex dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
