US Demands Israel To Increase Gaza Aid Amid Military Support Concerns Washington warns Israel of potential military funding cuts if humanitarian aid to Gaza does not improve significantlyThe United States has issued a pointed warning to Israel, demanding the enhancement of humanitarian aid access to Gaza or risk facing reductions in military support. Since the onset of a renewed offensive against Hamas, humanitarian aid deliveries have plummeted, with the United Nations stating no new aid reached northern Gaza for over two weeks prior to quickened efforts on Monday. Pursuant to the U.S. communication, Israel has been instructed to allow at least 350 aid trucks per day to enter Gaza across its main crossings. Over the course of the year, U.S. laws mandate scrutiny of military assistance provided to nations impeding humanitarian support, adding pressure for compliance from Israel. The push for lifting humanitarian constraints awaits clear responses from Israel, highlighting the precarious balance of military alliances and accountability under international humanitarian law.
