US President Joe Biden has warned that he will condition support for Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip on the country taking concrete steps to protect aid workers and civilians.
Biden's warning came during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on April 4 after Israel's attack on aid workers from the World Central Kitchen (WCK) organization that killed many people and sparked strong international opposition, leading to calls to place conditions on US aid to Israel.
This is the first time President Biden has threatened to condition aid, a development that could change the dynamics of the nearly six-month-old war.
An Israeli government source said the country would adjust its war tactics in the Gaza Strip after the mistaken airstrike that killed seven WCK employees. The adjustment process would take several weeks and would be carried out simultaneously with the investigation into the airstrike.
In a related development, US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US is reviewing media reports that the Israeli military used artificial intelligence (AI) to help identify bombing targets in Gaza. This information was revealed after Israel's attack on WCK.
In an interview with CNN, Mr. Kirby stated that the US side has not verified the information published in +972 Magazine and Local Call recently, which quoted Israeli intelligence officials related to the program called Lavender. According to information published by the press, the Israeli army is said to have used AI to identify and mark tens of thousands of people in Gaza suspected of being involved with Hamas forces, while the application of this technology was not fully supervised by humans.
In response to the above information, the Israel Defense Forces denied it.
