Foreign Policy: Gaza

October 18, 2024

Just this week, the leader of Hamas was killed by Israeli forces. Some hope this could bring the war between Israel and Hamas closer to a ceasefire. Polls show Americans want to see U.S. support for Israel but are also worried about civilian casualties. The Biden Administration told Israel to let more humanitarian aid into Gaza in 30 days or face a reduction in U.S. aid. Should the U.S. continue aid to Israel, and should restrictions be placed on that aid?
