Biden says Israelis and Palestinians are both entitled to safety and security while reiterating that Israel has the right to defend itself. But members of his own Democratic Party say he has ignored the plight of Palestinian civilians The Biden administration has approved a $735 arms deal to Israel but some legislators are calling to stop it until the bombing of Gaza ceases.
