White House Presses Israel’s Gantz on Aid for Gaza

In a recent meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz, the White House has reportedly pressed Israel to provide aid to Gaza in the wake of the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The United States has been vocal in calling for humanitarian assistance to be sent to Gaza, where many civilians have been affected by the ongoing violence. The Biden administration has emphasized the need for Israel to take steps to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Gantz, who has been a key figure in Israel’s response to the conflict, has expressed willingness to consider providing aid to Gaza, but has also stressed the importance of ensuring that any assistance does not end up in the hands of Hamas, the militant group that controls the Gaza Strip.

The White House’s push for aid to Gaza comes as efforts are underway to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The international community has been calling for an end to the violence and a return to negotiations to address the root causes of the conflict.
