Ben Rhodes Hits ‘Reluctant’ Biden for Not Using Leverage on Israel: ‘We Can’t Have a Famine Take Place Before Our Eyes in Gaza’
‘We are in a situation where the real leverage the U.S. has is the military assistance that Israel is using to conduct this military operation’
EXCERPT:
RHODES: “There are tools available, but President Biden has clearly been reluctant and remains somewhat reluctant to use those or even signal that he's considering those. But he's now facing a lot of pressure from within his own party, but also from around the world, Andrea. I'm sure that a lot of world leaders are calling him and saying, 'Hey, you're the one with the influence here because you provided so much military assistance to Israel. We can have a famine take place before our eyes in Gaza.'"
