Biden-Harris ultimatum to Israel: Improve dire Gaza conditions or risk losing aid

By Jake Smith | Daily Signal

The Biden-Harris administration is warning Israel that if it does not improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, it will risk losing military aid, according to multiple reports.

The Palestinians in Gaza have been caught in the crossfire in the war between Israel and Hamas, the latter of which invaded Israel on Oct. 7 and killed approximately 1,200 people. Though the U.S. has been largely supportive of Israel’s efforts to destroy Hamas, it has become seriously concerned with the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and it seems the Biden-Harris administration may be reaching a breaking point with the Israeli government over military aid, according to several reports.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in a letter on Sunday that if Israel does not allow a steady flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza within the next 30 days, the Biden-Harris administration may withhold military assistance, reports reveal. Specifically, Israel must ensure that hundreds of aid trucks enter Gaza per day, stop implementing certain evacuation orders and withdraw Israeli forces from nonoperational parts of the enclave.
