Biden Criticized, But Doesn't Penalize, Israel After Strike Kills Aid Workers
- Biden expressed outrage over an Israeli strike that killed 7 aid workers, but hasn't placed any consequences or conditions on U.S. weapons supplied to Israel
- Critics say Biden stops short of openly confronting Netanyahu, unwilling to limit Israel's ability to defend itself
- Biden could demand Israel provide military escorts for aid convoys, but hasn't taken that step
- The U.S. fears Israel still lacks a plan to evacuate 1.5 million refugees if it launches an offensive on Rafah
- Some say Biden only expressed real anger when foreign aid workers were killed, not over thousands of Palestinian civilian deaths
