Israel's weekend attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp that freed four Israeli hostages and killed at least 274 Palestinians and wounded nearly 700 was reportedly supported by the Biden administration, which provided intelligence to Israel ahead of the raid. "There's no question that what unfolded in that operation was a massacre," says Palestinian American political analyst Omar Baddar. "To look at a death toll of this scale and then to celebrate this kind of operation as some sort of success, you would basically have to openly say that the lives of Israelis are more valuable than the lives of Palestinians." Baddar discusses the political and humanitarian impact of the raid and his outlook on ceasefire negotiations. "When push comes to shove, the Biden administration is unwilling to apply any meaningful pressure on Israel," he says. "That dynamic is not going to lead to anything positive."
