US to Continue Arms Supplies to Israel Despite Gaza Humanitarian Concerns
ai generated text
The United States government has stated that Israel is not violating US law with regards to the level of aid entering Gaza, although there are concerns about the humanitarian situation. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had previously sent a letter to Israel, voicing alarm over the humanitarian situation in Gaza and setting a deadline of November 13 for Israel to take further action. Israel has since opened an additional aid crossing into Gaza, but the State Department has stated that the overall humanitarian situation in Gaza remains unsatisfactory.
What distinction was made, and what precautions were taken, if more than 70% of civilian housing is either damaged or destroyed?
We are witnessing acts reminiscent of the gravest international crimes.
The overall humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to be unsatisfactory. But in the context of the letter, it's not about whether we find something satisfactory or not; it's what are the actions that we're seeing.
We want to see more steps. We want to see these steps sustained over a significant period of time, and ultimately, we want to see these steps have a result on the situation.
After this 30-day period is up, we are constantly assessing and evaluating, and if we do not see consistent progress, if we do not see the results on the ground, then we will, of course, make appropriate assessments about their compliance with international law.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is now at its worst point since the war began in October 2023.
