The Biden Administration has issued an ultimatum to Israel that if the humanitarian situation in Gaza doesn’t improve by November 13th, it will cut military aid.

The warning follows a letter by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to their Israeli counterparts on October 13th. Both officials made clear that weapons and supply deliveries could face limitations without improved conditions for Gazan civilians over a 30-day period.

In a press conference on Thursday, Blinken and Austin said, “Both of us and our teams are tracking very carefully Israel’s responsibilities to meet the letter of the law with regard to the provision of humanitarian assistance. ”

However, Hamas’ efforts in hijacking humanitarian aid has complicated delivery efforts in Gaza.  Channel 12 reports that as of September 2024, Hamas profited half a billion dollars from humanitarian aid deliveries in Gaza.

Gazan civilians report and footage shows Hamas stealing aid from convoys coming into Gaza and often selling it to civilians at high prices.

In the report, journalist Almog Boker described the stolen humanitarian aid as “oxygen” for the terror group.

Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer is expected to respond to the letter on Tuesday, following the US elections.

On Friday, the US State Department reported that during a meeting between Blinken and Dermer, the Secretary of State emphasized ending the war in Gaza, bringing the hostages home, and establishing a policy for governance of Gaza following a ceasefire.

They also discussed implementing a diplomatic agreement to end the conflict in Lebanon for the safe return of the Israeli evacuees to their homes in the north.

    Biden waves his big stick. Last resort to garner votes. Hopefully his party will be out of office soon.

    Let me fix it, “Biden demands Israel make it easier for Hamas to profit off humanitarian aid, still maintaining power over the people, by maintaining power over the distribution/ sale of FREE TO THEM aid. Biden wants Israeli solders to sacrifice their lives and time to get Hamastan all the comforts they used to have paid for by the international community. He does not like to see the welfare territory not able to maintain its trickle down food pyramid so they feel better, while making the war elongate it’s time frame for neutralizing Hamas infrastructure and operatives. Biden clearly wants to resume funding the terrorists by giving them free supplies which they pillage then sell what they have not taken for themselves. And bring back the terrorist textbooks and network of terrorist support aid workers so that Israel can make its progress, regress”. There now I have clarified what Biden said.
