The State Department said Israel needs to take more steps to improve the situation among Palestinians. The United States had given the country 30 days to meet aid criteria.
The State Department said on Tuesday that it did not plan to decrease weapons aid to Israel, as a 30-day deadline set by the Biden administration passed without the country substantially improving the humanitarian situation in war-devastated Gaza.
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III had warned in a letter dated Oct. 13 that the United States would reassess its military aid to Israel if it failed to increase the amount of aid allowed to enter Gaza within 30 days.
The letter said that the humanitarian situation for the two million residents of Gaza was “increasingly dire” and that the amount of aid entering Gaza had fallen by 50 percent since April.
By law, the U.S. government cannot give aid to foreign military forces deemed by the State Department to be committing “gross violations of human rights.”
My only regret is that I have but one vote to give Jill Stein
What a damn farce this is.
But i was told repeatedly, that Biden/Harris were only toeing the line bc. of the election and once it was over, they would change things?
Turns out the whole ordeal was yet another piss poor maneuver to lie to the people, just like that “aid pier” that ended up being used for IDF instead.
Biden and Harris will do nothing to stop Israel. They made a whole fuzz, now to have this very explicit “red line” not just to stepped over, but rolled over with a bulldozer. There is no red lines for this administration.
They haven proven once and for all, that they are no better than Trump for the Palestinians.
Lol, tell me that in 4 years.
Your whole movement is nothing but 🤡.
