Biden has been putting some pressure on them as well, although it’s still too little. Maybe if he wins we’ll see him make real policy changes, but yeah it’s not very likely.

Putting pressure on them how? From what I can tell, they’re getting all the material support they always have

I heard something in June about him trying to set up a cease-fire to arrange a truce, but it seemed like a low-effort attempt that never went anywhere. That’s probably the best we’ll get out of him, unfortunately.

they’ve pulled that several times and they were never serious attempts. the key sticking point is always that Hamas wants a permanent ceasefire and Israel insists that it gets the prerogative to start shooting again when they feel like it. he’s never put any real pressure on Israel to agree to anything less; the weapons and money flow unconditionally.

Beyond words that are “leaked” to the press, what exact pressure has Biden put on Israel?
