The Biden administration would like Israelis and Palestinians to “calm” down. Ideally, a “sustainable calm” that comes because the two sides “deescalate tensions” and bring a “halt to the violence.”
In speeches, interviews, tweets and call readouts, President Joe Biden and his aides have used some version of the above terms more than 40 times during the past week.

Avoid going to Israel because of the armed conflict and civil unrest, the State Department wrote in its new warning.
The Government of the United States has advised against travel to Israel after evacuating some 120 Pentagon staff members from the war-torn region, it was announced Thursday.
The measure by the administration of President Joseph Biden came after four days of rocket bombardments by Hamas against different cities and the ensuing defensive response plus deployment of land troops to the area targetting the terrorist group in the Gaza strip.
The United States Department of Defense Thursday evacuated about 120 staffers Thursday as a precautionary measure in light of the ongoing violence the Israeli Defense Forces of Israel started ground operations.
