The United States has issued a warning to Israel, stating that it must take immediate steps to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within the next month or risk potential restrictions on U.S. military aid.
The United States has urged Israel to take immediate steps to improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, warning of potential restrictions on U.S. military aid if action is not taken within the next 30 days. This warning, which is the strongest yet since the conflict with Hamas began a year ago, was conveyed in a letter from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Israeli officials on Sunday, according to U.S. sources.
The letter calls for Israel to address the deteriorating situation in the Palestinian enclave, particularly in light of the recent renewed Israeli offensive in northern Gaza. The U.S. expressed concerns about Israeli-imposed restrictions, including those on commercial imports, the blocking of most humanitarian movements between northern and southern Gaza, and stringent restrictions on goods entering Gaza.
While the U.S. insists the letter is not a threat, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby emphasized the importance of addressing the situation urgently. He added that Israel seems to be taking the matter seriously.
An Israeli official in Washington confirmed receipt of the letter and stated that Israel is reviewing the concerns raised, affirming their commitment to addressing these issues in discussions with their American counterparts.
