US-Israel Relations During the War

At the beginning of the war, the US provided strong support to Israel, including military equipment and troops. However, as the conflict escalated, the US began raising concerns about the tactics and civilian casualties. The US criticized Israel's expansion into southern Gaza, warning against the same heavy-handed approach used in the north. Despite American demands for a reduction in civilian casualties, Israel continued with heavy bombardment and ground offensives, leading to worsening humanitarian conditions. The strain in the US-Israel relationship grew over time due to differences in tactics and the post-war vision for Gaza.
