President Biden speaks Wednesday in the Rose Garden, where he addressed the Israel-Gaza war, accompanied by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. on Wednesday ramped up his efforts to address Arab concerns about Israel’s devastating airstrikes in Gaza, saying there must be “a vision of what comes next” after the war, calling for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and stressing that Israel must minimize civilian casualties even if that poses a “burden.
Biden’s comments appeared designed in part to respond to Arab leaders in the Middle East, who have urged the president to be more outspoken about the need for Israeli restraint and to signal that he has a vision beyond the current conflict that addresses the needs of Palestinians as well as Israelis.
Palestinian gunmen from Hamas broke through the sophisticated Israel-Gaza border fence on Oct. 7 and killed more than 1,400 Israelis in a brutal attack in which they hunted civilians in their homes and cars, burned people alive and took scores of people hostage into Gaza, including some Americans.
Few aid trucks have been able to get into the Palestinian enclave at Egypt’s Rafah border crossing with Gaza, while thousands of civilians, including many children, have died amid a barrage of Israeli airstrikes.
