Biden-Harris admin warns Israel over Gaza humanitarian aid, leaked letter reveals
Fox News
The U.S. warned Israel that it needs to quickly improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza or be at risk of violating U.S. law and possibly jeopardizing crucial security aid to the country.
"What we have seen over the past few months is that the level of humanitarian assistance has not been sustained," adding, "Ultimately, we did not see our concerns sufficiently addressed, which is why the two secretaries sent the letter they did," Miller warned.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby tried to assuage fears and told reporters that the letter was not meant as a threat. "The letter was simply meant to reiterate the sense of urgency we feel and the seriousness with which we feel about the need for an increase, dramatic increase in humanitarian assistance. And that's what you can do with your friend. That's what you can do with your ally. And it's not the first time we've communicated that to Israel. But hopefully we won't have to communicate it again."
