House GOP leaders say Biden conditioning US support for Israel will 'benefit Hamas'
Fox News
Republicans in the House and Senate are hammering President Biden for taking a harsher stance against Israel in the wake of an IDF airstrike that killed seven humanitarian aid workers.
Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone on Thursday as the president faced growing pressure from the left to do more for civilians in Gaza. The White House said Biden "made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers" and that "U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps."

House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital when asked about the possibility of President Biden curbing military aid to Israel, "It is completely unacceptable for Joe Biden to demand that our most precious ally Israel surrender to Hamas terrorists."
