WASHINGTON — With the Biden administration days away from issuing its opinion on whether Israel is violating international and U.S. law in Gaza, the lawmaker who pushed for a State Department probe of that question doubts he’ll get an honest answer.
President Joe Biden will soon appoint Lise Grande, the current head of the government-funded United States Institute of Peace (USIP), as his new czar for humanitarian aid for Gaza, according to a USIP employee informed of her plans on Tuesday and a source familiar with the appointment.

As open fighting between two of the Middle East’s best-armed players worsens, more than a million Palestinian lives hang in the balance.
The U.S. believes famine is underway in Gaza, U.S. Agency for International Development administrator Samantha Power said on Wednesday ― a striking admission prompted by questioning over a HuffPost story revealing USAID officials privately reached that conclusion last week.

Five Democratic senators doubled down on demands for President Joe Biden to more aggressively address “the medical crisis” in Gaza, by deploying added U.S. support and pushing Israel to halt its assaults on medical workers and facilities, in a letter sent to Biden on Wednesday and shared exclusively with HuffPost.
