The U.S. will not change its policy on arms transfers to Israel even though the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip remains dire, the State Department said Tuesday, the deadline the White House set for Israel to ramp up access to aid in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters the decision came as “Israel has taken a number of steps” outlined in a letter from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Israeli counterparts last month. “We continue to be in discussion with Israel about the steps they took and other steps they need to take,” he said.
An average of just over 30 trucks a day have been let into Gaza in recent weeks, representing “just over six percent of the daily needs,” according to Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations agency assisting Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
I don’t think Biden knows he’s president half the time. Trump isn’t gonna change anything though, so don’t get too excited. It’s up to someone else to stop it.
Why would you assume I thought Trump was going to change anything?
Oh, he’s gonna change things. Not for the better, imo
I agree. It’s just not relevant to this discussion
You’re the one who said his name.
Ah so you’re a troll
Aww, you’re right sweetie, I practically made you bring up his name. You had no choice. I forgive you.
You literally brought him up first though.
Great. If he’s incompetent, Harris should have stepped up long ago or even today or even tomorrow to boot his ass for the next month.
But I don’t think you’re seriously suggesting that. Are you?
I don’t think any of them are competent.
