Democratic US Sen. Chris Coons, a close ally of President Joe Biden, expressed his openness to applying conditions to aid for Israel for the first time. This decision comes after an Israeli military strike resulted in the tragic deaths of seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen in Gaza earlier this week.
During an interview with CNN, Sen. Coons stated that he believes the situation has reached a critical juncture. He emphasized that both President Biden and himself, along with others, have made it clear that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were to order a significant military operation without regard for civilians or humanitarian aid, he would support conditioning aid to Israel.
