This is incorrect. Bidens words are empty and mean absolutely nothing. Two weeks ago:

Joe Biden calls for ‘immediate ceasefire’ in Gaza and says Israel must protect civilians to keep US support

Biden has not placed any restrictions on arms. His empty hypocritical words mean nothing as his actions show the opposite.

The only other time Biden pressed Netanyahu was after the aid workers attack. He said they needed to open more corridors to aid immediately. The IDF opened three corridors the next day. Words are all Biden needs at this time. He should use them more.

There are already restrictions on the arms. They are required to be used within international law. I agree that the IDF should be held accountable for their misuse.

That is incorrect as well. Israel lied about opening a corridor

A border crossing from Israel into northern Gaza remains closed a week after Israel promised to open it for deliveries of aid, as a top US official warned that famine has begun.

And forced trucks to split their loads in half to double count them

Israel said 419 trucks entered Gaza on Monday, while UNRWA said only 223 trucks had come. OCHA says the Israeli count is for the half-full trucks that enter the Strip, while the UN count is of the new convoy of re-loaded, full trucks that then complete the delivery.

“Trucks that go in, screened by COGAT, are typically only half-full. That is a requirement that they have put in place for screening purposes. When we count the trucks on the other side, when they have been reloaded, they are full,” he said.

So aside from israel faking numbers not much has changed. The famine has officially started.

Aid ‘still not reaching Gaza’, as top US official warns famine has started

A key port has not been opened to aid shipments, and a new crossing into northern Gaza has officially opened but UN agencies are not yet allowed to use it, even though they provide the vast majority of food aid for the territory.
