Joe Biden’s strongly-worded “outrage” at the deadly Israeli strike on a convoy of aid workers has failed to quell growing pressure from Democrats and American Muslim leaders to restrict military aid to force a ceasefire.
Kirby said the Biden administration had confidence in the Israeli investigation of the seven deaths and had no plans for an American inquiry. He added that the United States had not yet found any breach of international humanitarian law by Israel in Gaza.
A Ramadan event at the White House on Tuesday evening was poorly attended as Muslim groups stayed away in protest at Biden’s handling of the war.
Only one Palestinian-American, a doctor who volunteered in a hospital that closed after a raid by Israeli forces, spoke to Biden before walking out. “I basically pleaded that the United States needs to intervene,” Thaer Ahmad told The Wall Street Journal.
