Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid is set to meet top US officials in Washington as tensions rise over Israel's handling of the Gaza war. President Joe Biden, who has supported Israel throughout the conflict, expressed his disapproval of the recent Israeli airstrike that killed seven aid workers.
JERUSALEM, Apr 7 — Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid was headed to Washington today for talks with top officials, his party said, as tensions between the two governments grow over Israel’s handling of the Gaza war.
President Joe Biden has stood by Israel through six months of devastating fighting but the killing of seven aid workers in an Israeli air strike earlier this week appears to have brought him the closest yet to a breaking point. It added that Biden “made clear that US policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action.”
