Since the United States sent Israel a warning letter that further security assistance could be at risk without significant efforts to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem’s actions have been insufficient and ineffective, the spokesman said. State Department, Matthew Miller.
“Despite some improvement in the number of humanitarian aid delivery routes, the increase has been negligible and the humanitarian situation still remains at a level that we consider unacceptable,” Miller said.
He noted that there continue to be problems with communication between the IDF and humanitarian organizations. There are cases where the military does not grant permission to humanitarian workers to operate in Gaza, as well as situations where permission is granted but does not reach officers on the ground.
In addition, there are still Palestinian armed groups dedicated to looting part of the aid sent to the Gaza Strip.
Previously, Kursor wrote that the White House warned Israel of a possible arms embargo if American demands to change military tactics in Gaza are not met. Administration spokesman John Kirby said the letter sent to Israeli leaders should be considered a warning and urgently calls for an easing of the blockade of the Gaza Strip.
He stressed that this was not a threat, but expressed the hope that this signal would not need to be repeated.
Furthermore, Cursor has already reported that Israel has introduced several initiatives aimed at mitigating the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the measures were taken after the Biden administration sent a warning letter to Israeli authorities.
