US media reported on Friday that the current administration is facing increased pressure to change its position on the war on Gaza and call for a ceasefire.
While Biden initially pledged unwavering support for "Israel," during his first visit to the Israeli occupation, Biden has recently adopted a change of tone when he stated he was in favor of a "pause" that would allow the release of captives.
On Thursday, he stated that Washington will continue to back "Israel’s right to defend" itself “in line with international law,” while also ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches Gaza.
According to CNN, top Biden administration officials have reportedly warned "Israel" that there is only a limited window of time to accomplish its goal of "eradicating Hamas" from Gaza, as it will become more difficult to sustain the aggression on the Gaza strip, due to the international outcry.
Hundreds of thousands of people have protested globally against the aggression, calling on their governments and leaders to back a ceasefire and end their support for the Israeli occupation.
Unnamed sources were cited by CNN, claiming that Biden's close advisors think the White House could have to declare a ceasefire in a few weeks.
CNN reported that “particularly jarring to Biden and his national security team” was the bombardment of the Jabalia refugee camp earlier this week, which once again caused scores of civilian deaths.
According to one source, Biden "didn't like this at all," while NBC quoted an anonymous source stating that US officials were worried "Israel" would be isolated globally due to the way it's brutally targetting civilians.
"Israel" has repeatedly declined any calls for a ceasefire.
"Israel's" allies shying away from unconditional support
The death toll has surpassed 9,000 innocent Palestinians, and as hundreds of thousands have protested globally and called for a ceasefire, it seems it has become increasingly difficult for Western nations to turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed.
After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, Blinken expressed that “We need to do more to protect Palestinian civilians,” adding that he had provided “advice that only the best of friends can offer” on how the occupation could protect civilians.
"Israel" is obviously uninterested in any such advice, seeing as it bombed an ambulance convoy departing from Al-Shifa Hospital, heading to the Rafah border crossing.
France is also scheduled to hold an international humanitarian meeting for the civilian population in Gaza on November 9, according to three diplomatic sources.
