Growing Israel ‘fatigue’ in the US puts pressure on Biden
There is something new happening and it’s not because President Biden simply changed his mind, it’s because there is a gathering momentum. There’s an Israel fatigue in the United States and around the world.
There is a definite Netanyahu fatigue in the Biden administration, and that fatigue – people getting tired of more of the same Israeli lies, more of the same Israeli crimes, more of the same Israeli justifications – is pushing the administration to do something or at least maintain some sort of appearance that it is serious about doing something.
We’ve noticed that as soon as some form of leverage was used, the aid did increase, so both the Biden administration and the Netanyahu government weren’t telling us the truth.
The aid wasn’t going into Gaza; not because of some technical issues or some Egyptian issues, but because Israel did not want it to get in, and America wasn’t doing everything possible to protect civilian lives and help get aid in.
‘Rafah lacks everything’
Oxfam, an antipoverty charity, says that in the southern city, there is very little food, safety and even clothes for people who have been forced to flee the Gaza Strip’s northern areas.
Calling for an immediate ceasefire, the non-profit said: “Israel complicates a humanitarian response and hinders access to urgently needed basic services, including water, food, medicine and fuel.”

Al-Shifa Hospital ‘an empty shell with human graves’: WHO
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the UN agency and other partner organisations have managed to reach the medical complex Gaza City following Israel’s deadly two-week siege.
“The team witnessed at least five dead bodies during the mission. Most of the buildings in the hospital complex are extensively destroyed and the majority of assets damaged or reduced to ashes. Even restoring minimal functionality in the short term seems implausible,” he said in a post on X.
“An in-depth assessment by a team of engineers is needed to determine if the remaining buildings are safe for future use. WHO and partners’ recent effort to support the revival of basic services at al-Shifa are now lost, and people are once again deprived of access to lifesaving health care services.”
