US officials: Gaza violence means Washington can’t ignore Israeli-Palestinian conflict
US officials tell the Kan public broadcaster that they believe the violence between Israel and the Gaza terror groups will force the Biden administration to have more involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than they originally planned.
The report says that US officials had previously believed they would be able to move away from the issue, or at least delay any intervention.
The report notes that the US has still not appointed a special envoy to the region or an ambassador.
