What's different a year after the wildfires? | SaltWire #novascotia #firefighting #wildfires #newsWASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden spent months urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to protect Gaza civilians, but the U.S. decision to pause some military aid to Israel was linked directly to a pointed phone call they had a month ago, a U.S. official said.
The United States has been Israel's most reliable ally, and Israel the U.S's top aid recipient, since the Jewish state was created after World War Two. A second US official said the administration had intended to keep the weapons pause quiet but they spoke up after the Israelis leaked the news.There have been"months and months of discussion about ‘What are the messages being conveyed by this government to the Israeli government’ and 'To what extent do they take it seriously,’" said Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the liberal Jewish advocacy group J-Street.
After Biden pushed him to not to attack Rafah Monday, Netanyahu rejected a Gaza ceasefire deal accepted by Hamas, and began airstrikes in Rafah. A third U.S. official told Reuters then that the Israelis did not appear to be negotiating a ceasfire-for-hostage deal in good faith.
