On April 4th, President Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the ongoing conflict in Gaza. During the call, Biden emphasized that Israel's actions were unacceptable and demanded specific steps to address civilian harm and humanitarian suffering. The White House released a readout of the call stating that US policy on Gaza will be determined by its assessment of Israel's immediate action on these steps. Netanyahu agreed to allow temporary aid delivery directly to an Israeli port and open a main crossing in northern Gaza, but it is unclear if this meets all of Biden's demands.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents the statement of President Biden as if he has made a new policy on Gaza when in fact this was his first time stating that Israel's behavior will determine US policy on Gaza. Secondly, the article implies that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is responsible for the civilian deaths and humanitarian suffering in Gaza, which is not entirely accurate as it ignores other factors such as Hamas attacks and rocket launches from Gaza into Israel. Thirdly, the article presents a statement by President Biden calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to express concerns about Israeli strikes that killed aid workers and humanitarian conditions in Gaza without providing any context or quotes from the call itself. Lastly, the article states that No Labels will not run a presidential candidate in 2024 due to their failure to find a suitable candidate but does not provide any information on who they were considering for this role.

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by stating that the US president's position on Gaza is based solely on Israel's immediate new steps. The author also uses a dichotomous depiction of the situation in Gaza as either acceptable or unacceptable without providing any context for what constitutes acceptable behavior.
The White House has released a readout of the phone call between Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Bias
(85%)
The author uses language that dehumanizes the Palestinians by referring to them as 'civilian suffering' and 'innocent civilians'. The use of words like 'unacceptable' also implies a moral judgment on Israel. Additionally, the author quotes Biden saying that US support depends on Israel taking immediate new steps in Gaza, which could be seen as an endorsement of Israeli actions.
Biden made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers

Israel to Add Gaza Aid Routes as Biden Hinges Support on Civilian Protection

The announcement of additional aid routes hours later met some but not all of Mr. Biden's demands.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that President Biden 'threatened' to condition future support for Israel on how it addresses his concerns about civilian casualties and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. However, this statement is misleading as there was no threat made by President Biden. Instead, he expressed his concern and urged Israel to take specific steps to address these issues. Secondly, the article states that 'Israel agreed to increase aid deliveries' within hours of President Biden's call with Prime Minister Netanyahu. However, this is not entirely accurate as it does not specify what type of aid was delivered or how much was increased. Lastly, the article quotes a White House summary of the call stating that President Biden made clear his need for Israel to announce and implement specific steps to address civilian harm and humanitarian suffering. This statement implies that these steps were agreed upon by Israel when in fact they were not explicitly stated in any official Israeli announcement.

The author is Peter Baker and he has a clear bias towards Israel. He uses language that depicts the situation in Gaza as an 'unacceptable' humanitarian crisis and implies that Israel is responsible for it. The author also quotes President Biden saying that U.S policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by his assessment of Israel's immediate action on specific, concrete steps to address civilian harm and safety of aid workers which suggests a bias towards the US government position.
He made clear that U.S policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action on these steps.
