The White House has ramped up its rhetoric of 'concern' over the ongoing events in Israel, marking a rare involvement in the country's domestic affairs.

While it remains unclear what specific actions may be taken by the US government, it is clear that concerns have been expressed at high levels regarding recent developments.
