U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin wrote a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on October 13, giving Israel 30 days to allow at least 350 humanitarian aid trucks per day into Gaza, open a fifth crossing into the enclave, and ensure access to northern Gaza for aid groups, among other specific steps outlined in the letter.
Noncompliance would violate National Security Memorandum 20, which President Joe Biden issued in February to demand credible assurances from Israel that it was acting according to international law, and Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act, which prohibits the U.S. from providing military aid to countries that are blocking U.S. humanitarian aid.
Louise Wateridge, a senior emergency officer for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said Tuesday that the Biden administration’s warning 30 days ago did not improve conditions in Gaza, with aid entering the enclave “at its lowest level in months.”
And what’s going Biden going to do in response?
Whatever you want him to do, the next guy would reverse it in 2 months. Well done USA.
That’s not a reason to continue to actively fuel a genocide.
At least a furrowed brow.
He’ll probably respond with more military aid.
Dudes a lame duck now, go ask Trump and the Republicans what they are going to do.
Last I check out was “Finish the job.”.
If I were him I’d just say “fuck it, I’m done,” hand over the presidency to Kamala for the next couple months, and enjoy my retirement.
Surprising nobody…
A reminder that we still under Biden administration
Having just won the US elections, I’m sure Bibi is really keeping that growing stack of letters and memoranda from the White House at the top of his todo list
Bombs count as aid -Isreal, definitely
