Recently, the pressure has escalated: the United States issued strict warnings to Israel about its humanitarian aid policies or face potential cutbacks on military assistance. According to the letter, Israel has 30 days to improve the flow of humanitarian aid, especially as the situation on the ground deteriorates, with severe food and medical shortages reported. The leaked letter revealed deep dissatisfaction within the Biden administration about Israel's failure to maintain earlier promises about humanitarian access to Gaza.
