Defining the News
President Joe Biden will make a landmark trip to Israel in an “ironclad” show of US support, as efforts to ease a spiralling humanitarian disaster in Gaza intensify.
Biden’s visit also comes amid frantic diplomatic efforts to ease the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza after waves of Israeli retaliatory air strikes on the Hamas-ruled enclave. Tens of thousands of regular Israeli troops and reservists have amassed at the border waiting for the order to go in. But the air strikes have flattened entire neighbourhoods in the blockaded Gaza Strip and killed at least 2,750 people, most of them civilians.
Speaking after marathon talks with Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, Blinken signalled there was no firm agreement yet on humanitarian relief.“At our request, the United States and Israel have agreed to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organizations to reach civilians in Gaza,” Blinken said.
Entire families, young children and the elderly have packed what belongings they can to flee to the southern Gaza Strip, bedding down in any available space, indoors and out.Thousands more Palestinians have massed at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt in an effort to flee. But Gazans are effectively trapped, with neighbouring Arab nations fearful that if Palestinians leave the Strip they could be permanently exiled.In Israel, about 500,000 people have been displaced or evacuated from communities around the Gaza Strip and Israel’s northern border with Lebanon, the Israeli military said Tuesday.
