Israel said the attack was a mistake. The U.S. president, a lifelong supporter of Israel, has resisted pressure to withhold aid or halt the shipment of weapons to the country. His warning marked the first time he has threatened to potentially condition aid, a development that could change the dynamic of the nearly six-month-old war.<\/p>\n<p>Biden &#8220;made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers,&#8221; the White House said of the leaders&#8217; phone call. It said the call lasted about 30 minutes. The president &#8220;made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel\u2019s immediate action on these steps,&#8221; the White House said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Washington is Israel&#8217;s top weapons supplier and the Biden administration has mostly provided a diplomatic shield for it at the United Nations. At a briefing after the call, White House spokesperson John Kirby declined to elaborate on any specific changes the U.S. would make in its policy toward Israel and Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>He said Washington hoped to see an announcement of Israeli steps in the &#8220;coming hours and days.&#8221;<br \/>\nBy suggesting a shift in U.S. policy toward Gaza was possible if Israel did not address the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave, Biden channeled his own frustration along with mounting pressure from his left-leaning political base in the Democratic Party to stop the killings and alleviate hunger among innocent civilians. Asked about possible changes in U.S. policy, Netanyahu spokesperson Tal Heinrich told Fox News: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s something that Washington will have to explain&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the White House welcomed moves by Israel to open the Ashdod port and Erez crossing to increase deliveries of humanitarian assistance and to step up deliveries from Jordan directly into Gaza. But these steps, said White House spokesperson Adrienne Watson, &#8220;must now be fully and rapidly implemented.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/biden-speaks-with-israels-netanyahu-after-strike-kills-food-aid-workers-2024-04-04\/\">Read more&gt;<\/a>&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/biden-speaks-with-israels-netanyahu-after-strike-kills-food-aid-workers-2024-04-04\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/biden-to-netanyahu-protect-civilians-in-gaza-or-us-policy-will-change\/\">Biden to Netanyahu: Protect civilians in Gaza or US policy will change<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[800,3444,9252,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-129464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-biden","tag-gaza","tag-netanyahu","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129464\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
