The Biden administration has given Israel until after the US presidential election to ease the starving of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, according to a letter obtained by Axios .
The letter, written by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, was sent on Sunday and gave Israel 30 days to allow more aid deliveries into Gaza and take other steps to improve humanitarian conditions.
The letter says that a failure to implement these measures may have “implications for US policy under NSM-20 and relevant US law (weapons supply),” referring to foreign assistance laws that prohibit US military aid to countries blocking aid deliveries.
US government agencies had previously concluded Israel was deliberately blocking aid , but Blinken overrode those concerns to ensure US weapons continued to flow to Israel.
The letter comes two weeks after Israel cut off all aid deliveries to northern Gaza and ordered the estimated 300,000 to 400,000 Palestinians in the area to evacuate to the south. Israeli media has reported that Israel is carrying out a “scaled-down” version of the “general’s plan,” which would result in the complete ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza and the extermination of anyone who stayed behind.
Even before Israel began implementing the plan, aid deliveries into Gaza reached an all-time low. “The amount of assistance entering Gaza in September was the lowest of any month during the past year,” Blinken and Austin said in the letter.
