    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden andĀ his topĀ advisersĀ are warning IsraelĀ with growing force thatĀ it will becomeĀ increasinglyĀ difficult forĀ itĀ to pursue its military goals in Gaza as global outcryĀ intensifiesĀ aboutĀ the scale of humanitarian suffering there.

    Behind the scenes, American officialsĀ alsoĀ believe there is limited time for Israel toĀ try to accomplishĀ itsĀ stated objective of taking out HamasĀ in its current operationĀ before uproar over the humanitarian sufferingĀ and civilian casualtiesĀ ā€“ and calls for a ceasefire ā€“Ā reaches a tipping point.

    In fact, there is recognition within the administrationĀ thatĀ thatĀ momentĀ may arrive quickly: SomeĀ of the presidentā€™s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffingĀ the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomesĀ untenable, sources told CNN.

    Particularly jarring to Biden and his national security team, two sourcesĀ familiar with the matter said, were Israeli airstrikes this week that targeted a refugee camp in northern Gaza, resulting in grim scenes of widespread destruction and deaths.

    Biden has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the relentless images of Palestinian women and children being pulled from rubble could start to narrow Israelā€™s ability to move forwardĀ with its current operation, according to senior administration officials.

    And that isnā€™t just limited to IDFā€™s operation in Gaza: In a call with Netanyahu on Sunday, BidenĀ told the prime minister he was concerned aboutĀ the surge in violence against Palestinians by Israeli settlersĀ in the West Bank and was emphatic that that the attacks had to stop, according to a source briefed on the conversation.
