For decades, the U.S. has supported Israel, backing up its defense policy and supplying tens of billions of dollars in aid and weapons. Now, some within the Democratic party are questioning that support, and challenging President Biden's handling of the Gaza conflict. John Yang speaks to Daniel Brumberg, director of democracy and governance studies at Georgetown University about the matter.
The U.S. has opposed a United Nations resolution that calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas saying it would interfere with efforts by the Biden administration to de-escalate the situation.

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is offering his full-throated support for Israel in its conflict with the militant group Hamas, calling the U.S. ally a responsible state defending itself.
In the Gaza Strip, health officials say Israel s airstrikes have killed over 200 Palestinians, including more than 60 children. Israeli authorities say Palestinian militants rocket attacks have killed 12 people, two of whom were children, in Israel. No one is glad to see the fighting. But we are already seeing some push the false narrative that this conflict is a tragic dispute between two legitimate combatants where both sides share blame that is roughly equal. What nonsense, McConnell said on the Senate floor on Tuesday.
