President Joe Biden is Facing Pressure to balance his support for Israel with calls for restraint as the conflict between Israel and Hamas escalates. Biden has expressed his support for Israel's right to defend itself, but also emphasized the need for Israel to act within the laws of war and protect civilians. Arab leaders, European officials, and members of the Democratic Party have called for a more balanced approach. There is debate within the administration over whether Biden's policy is too closely aligned with Israel's, and some State Department officials have expressed concerns. Biden recently secured an agreement to allow aid into Gaza via the Rafah border crossing.
