The Biden administration recently sent a strong message to Israel, asking for urgent action to enhance the humanitarian situation in Gaza. In a letter signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the US demanded that Israel take steps within the next 30 days to improve the delivery of aid to Gaza. The letter highlighted deep concerns about the decline in aid, which has dropped by over 50% since spring, and warned that future US military aid could be at risk if Israel fails to meet these demands.
The US is pushing for Israel to allow more trucks to enter Gaza, open an additional crossing, and implement humanitarian pauses to facilitate aid distribution. The letter also called for a new channel of communication between the US and Israeli governments to discuss civilian harm incidents. Despite the warning, the US continues to provide military assistance to Israel, including advanced air defense systems and troops.
