    White House is still pussyfooting around, though. From another article (FT):

    John Kirby, spokesperson for the US National Security Council, said Schumer had told the White House in advance what he was planning to say. But he sought to distance the White House from the Senate majority leader’s comments, saying that the Biden administration remained “focused on making sure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself, while doing everything that they can to avoid civilian casualties”.

      I think someone like Schumer can afford to throw a punch while Biden sees how it lands and waits to throw another. Biden may wait until he’s sure Bibi is finished.
