Biden calls Israel’s military response in Gaza “over the top”
President Biden is growing unhappy with the Israeli military’s response in Gaza. Since the October 7th Hamas attack against Israel, the president has supported the Jewish state’s right to retaliate. Here at home, he’s requested additional U-S aid for Israel. But the White House also has decried the number of civilian casualties in Gaza as Israeli forces target Hamas.
