This is the best summary I could come up with:
When Biden’s counterpart – reeling from one of the worst attacks on his country in decades – brought up the possibility of going into Gaza, the president did not warn him against doing so, a US official briefed on the conversation tells CNN.
The president and his national security team are keenly aware of what appears to be a growing likelihood of Israel making a ground incursion into Gaza.
Over the past 72 hours, officials have acknowledged what a deeply tenuous position that possibility puts the administration in.
One official described the remarks as part of what will be a “steady cadence” of communication from the president on this topic in the days ahead.
Biden has been working on Tuesday’s speech with his advisers, who have been briefing him multiple times a day since Saturday’s attacks began.
Biden’s first written statement over the weekend did not include the term “ceasefire” – an omission that struck current and former administration officials alike.
