The Biden administration has a plan for the Hamas-Israel war.
The problem is that things fundamentally changed in Israel on Oct 7 even if they didn't change in D.C. When the Biden administration wanted Israel to stop its offensive at the end of 2023, it didn't get its wish.
So the Biden administration has ramped up a pressure campaign, much of it under the radar, but that is playing out across various fronts.
The administration has enabled the "Monitoring" of Israeli attacks on Hamas for "Human rights violations" in a way that may trigger a shutoff of arms sales.
The sanctions were considered amid exacerbated tensions between the US and Israel due to Washington's insistence that Israel refrain from carrying out a full-fledged invasion of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Sanctioning cabinet members of an allied government would be unprecedented, but apparently, that was Plan A and still on the backburner.
In the end, the Biden administration only enacted sanctions against four largely unknown Israeli settlers, once again tempering the Biden administration's response.
