LIVE UPDATES U.S. warns Israel that arms transfers could halt unless humanitarian situation in Gaza improves
"The Biden administration intensified pressure on Israel this week to improve dire humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip, warning that the United States would be forced to undertake new actions — including a potential suspension of military assistance — if food and other aid to Palestinians is not increased within a month. The admonition, in a letter sent Sunday to the Israeli government, comes amid concerns over civilian deaths, along with dwindling access by aid groups to Gaza’s north. The letter’s authenticity was confirmed by U.S. and Israeli officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive communications between the two governments. Since the spring, the amount of aid delivered to Gaza “has dropped by more than 50 percent,” the United States says."
