Biden Meets Herzog Amid Israel Tension

The United Nations has reported that aid reaching northern Gaza is at its lowest this year, raising concerns about an impending famine, as Israeli authorities continue to block humanitarian assistance. Despite these warnings, the U.S. State Department has stated that Israel has not breached American laws regarding aid to Gaza. President Biden met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog to discuss the conflict, reaffirming his commitment to Israel and urging for improved aid access to Gaza. As tensions rise, two Israelis were killed by rocket attacks from Lebanon, highlighting the broader regional conflict. While Israel claims to have increased aid shipments, aid agencies argue that the situation has worsened. The Biden administration had set a deadline for Israel to increase aid, which has now expired without significant change in U.S. military support to Israel.
