Israel is being warned by the United States on Tuesday that it may withdraw a portion of its billions of dollars in military aid if Israel does not increase support supply to the Gaza Strip after the next 30 times.
According to state ministry spokesman Matthew Miller, US secretary of state Antony Blinken and defence minister Lloyd Austin made” clear to the state of Israel that there are changes that they need to create again to ensure that the level of support entering Gaza comes back away from the very, very low levels that it is currently” in a text sent on Sunday. The letter made a point of attention to US law, which requires that “recipients of US military aid do not unilaterally refuse or impede provision of US charitable assistance.”
The letter, which was addressed to Yoav Gallant, the Jewish defense minister, was originally intended to be private, but Axios initially reported it. We are mainly concerned that the new behavior by the Israeli authorities are accelerating the worsening of the problems in Gaza, according to a copy of the letter posted by an Axios writer on X.
The caution comes a year after the Israel-Hamas conflict, during which President Joe Biden frequently urged Israel to give Israeli citizens, but he only when fulfilled his pledge to stop a sale of arms.
Blinken and Austin demand in the letter that Israel permit at least 350 trucks of aid to enter Gaza each day, that a fifth crossing be made into the territory, and that evacuation orders be withdrawn when there is no need for them to do so.
The state department noted that 300 to 400 trucks were allowed to enter each day under earlier US pressure, but aid overall has fallen by more than 50 % from its peak.
The United States has repeatedly warned Israel about the situation in Gaza despite being one of the most powerful international supporters of Israel since Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on October 7, 2023.
The letter calls for action within 30 days, which would mean any evaluation would take place following the US election, when Biden’s Democratic Party faced criticism from its left-wing for not doing enough to restrain Israel.
In a competitive race to succeed Biden, vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris also expressed concern over a UN report that northern Gaza has not received any food in nearly two weeks.
According to Harris,” Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need.”
