For the first time since Israel's war on Gaza began in October, Joe Biden has admitted American weapons have been used to kill civilians.
And he is threatening to stop supplying arms that have been part of the United States' efforts 'to secure Israel'.
The comments are the strongest warning yet by the US President, over a potential ground invasion of Rafah by Israeli forces.
But are Biden's comments an attempt to calm down anger at home, as he seeks another term in office in 6 months?
Or will he take tougher action against the Benjamin Netanyahu government?
Presenter:
Neave Barker
Guests:
Scott Lucas, Professor of international politics, University College Dublin's Clinton Institute.
Tahani Mustafa, senior Palestine Analyst with the NGO International Crisis Group.
Menachem Klein, Political Science professor Bar-Ilan University.
