The Biden administration has given Israel an ultimatum, stipulating that within 30 days, the country must allow increased access for American humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. If this demand isn’t met, the United States has threatened to halt its military aid to Israel.
This warning was conveyed in a letter penned by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. The letter was delivered to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer on Monday.
The American officials pointed out that the volume of humanitarian assistance entering Gaza has diminished in recent months. They indicated that this trend is causing “concerns” regarding Israel’s dedication to ensuring that aid can flow into the region without unnecessary obstacles.
Former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman responded strongly, stating, “This is just repugnant. Israel is fighting a war on seven fronts against terrorist forces that show no respect for humanity, law or morality, and Biden/Harris/Blinken/Austin are threatening to hold off assistance to Israel unless Israel increases ‘humanitarian aid’ that invariably just extends the war and is hijacked by Hamas.”
Friedman also noted, “As a cruel addendum, the US is demanding that Israel cooperate more fully with the International Committee of the Red Cross when the ICRC has not once — NOT ONCE — visited the civilian hostages held in barbaric conditions by Hamas.”
He continued by asserting, “Make no mistake here — this is just political gamesmanship by the Biden/Harris administration to pick up a few more votes among its woke supporters. It is a cynical but deadly gambit that will make a hostage deal even less likely and lead to more carnage and instability. Amateur hour!”

Spot on Mr Friedman
This position by Biden/Harris is abominable, and proof that neither is competent to hold public office. Israel has done more for the Palestinian civilians than US or any other country. Israel is not withholding aid. That narratiuve is a horrible lie, and the WH knows that. Honesty has not been a virtue of the Dems. The aid is being hijacked by Hamas, which then puts it on the market for huge prices. This essentially finances terror. Has America done anything to establish a system to protect the aid to be delivered to the right targets? No. Yes, Harris y”sh is catering to the growing anti-Semitic, pro-terror lobby. And we may all wish that all supporters of terror, directly or indirectly, become afflicted with some horrible diseases and suffering.
You know why it was leaked. Because they don’t care about humanitarian aid.
They care about how they look and they want Israel haters to think this administration is anti Israel so that they get their votes in November. So the whole goal is a leaked letter so that the haters can know to vote for them.
Despicable contemptible state dept.
Blinkens dad is Jewish
So is his mother….
Doesn’t make him (the original one who was dealt with) Jewish.
So what. He is purely evil, and quite stupid to boot. BE”H he gets ousted when Trump wins in November.
ichsa! magil!
