Pelosi, House Democrats Urge Biden to Reconsider Israel Aid After Gaza Airstrike Kills Aid Workers
-
Former Speaker Pelosi and over 30 House Democrats sent a letter to Biden urging him to reconsider sending new weapons to Israel after aid workers were killed in an airstrike.
-
They urged Biden to withhold transfers if Israel does not properly investigate the airstrike, mitigate harm to Gaza civilians, and facilitate humanitarian aid transport.
-
Israel acknowledged mistakenly killing the 7 World Central Kitchen workers and said it was unintentional. Lawmakers called it an "unacceptable mistake."
-
Blinken said Israel's steps to open a Gaza border crossing are "positive developments" but the U.S. will see what additional actions Israel takes.
-
A Pelosi spokesperson said she joined the letter in support of an independent investigation into the aid workers' deaths.
