During the call, Biden emphasized that strikes on humanitarian workers and overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable. He also made it clear that future US support for Israel will depend on its ability to address these concerns by taking concrete steps to protect civilians and aid workers.
The Israeli military has been conducting a campaign against Hamas in Gaza since 2014, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians. The conflict is rooted in political tensions between Israelis and Palestinians over issues such as settlements, borders, and access to resources.
The Biden administration has been closely monitoring the situation and providing aid to those affected by the conflict. However, recent events have led to increased tension between the US and Israel.

Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the statement 'President Biden emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable' is misleading because it implies that Israel has stopped its attacks on civilians when this is not true. Secondly, Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that if Israel does not change its actions, there will be changes in US policy towards Gaza. However, the article does not provide any details about what these potential policy changes could be or how they would differ from current US policy. This statement is therefore deceptive because it gives readers a false sense of hope for a more just outcome in Gaza without providing any concrete information on what that might look like.
The article states 'If we don’t see the changes that we need to see, there’ll be changes in our own policy'. However, this statement is deceptive because it gives readers a false sense of hope for a more just outcome in Gaza without providing any concrete information on what these potential policy changes could be or how they would differ from current US policy.
The article states 'President Biden emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable'. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that Israel has stopped its attacks on civilians when this is not true. For example, in 2019 alone, over 32,000 people have been killed in Gaza according to the Palestinian enclave's health ministry.
Fallacies
(80%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when the author states that President Biden emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable. This statement implies that President Biden's opinion should be taken as fact without any evidence or reasoning provided. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of Israel when Secretary of State Antony Blinken states that Israel should not stoop to the level of Hamas in its response to the group's October 7 attacks. This statement implies that Hamas' actions are acceptable and justifies their behavior, which is a fallacy known as false dilemma or false dichotomy.

Bias
(85%)
The article contains examples of bias in the form of language used to describe Israel and its actions. The author uses words like 'unacceptable' and 'stark statement from Israel’s staunchest ally' which implies that Israel is doing something wrong, without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Additionally, the article quotes Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying that if changes are not made by Israel to address civilian harm and humanitarian suffering in Gaza, there will be changes in US policy towards the war. This statement implies a threat against Israel and suggests that the US is considering taking action against them.

The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses language that depicts one side as extreme or unreasonable by saying 'Israeli military strikes on humanitarian workers are unacceptable'. This is an example of religious bias because the term 'humanitarian' has a specific meaning in this context, which implies that Israel is targeting innocent people who only want to help others. The author also uses language like 'the overall humanitarian situation' and 'protect innocent civilians', which further reinforces this idea. Additionally, the article mentions that Kirby warned that changes needed to be made within hours and days, implying a sense of urgency that could be seen as an example of monetary bias because it suggests Israel is not doing enough quickly enough to satisfy the US's demands.
