President Joe Biden's National Security Advisor will be touching down in Tel Aviv today, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This visit comes amidst a chorus of calls from nations worldwide – including some of the U.S.’s closest allies – for an immediate ceasefire, a call that the U.S. continues to resist.
The National Security Advisor, the most senior advisor to President Biden, will partake in significant talks with key figures in the Israeli government, including the prime minister and the defense minister. Expectations are high that he will raise concerns over civilian casualties, pressing Israeli government to be more surgical and precise in their operations to minimize the number of civilian casualties. The number of such casualties has been rising alarmingly and continues to be a sore point in the Israeli operations.
