Speaking to reporters in Tel Aviv as he concluded his visit with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Joe Biden underscored his straightforward conversation with the Israeli leadership regarding the essential requirement of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians in Gaza.

Biden recognized that while Israel has faced significant challenges, it also possesses the capacity to mitigate the suffering of those individuals in Gaza who have been left with nowhere to turn. During a brief refueling stop at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on his way back home, Biden emphasized, “It is a moral obligation they should act upon.”
