(Worthy News) – Ahead of tomorrow’s deadline for Israel to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has decided not to withhold weapons from Israel. This decision comes despite a warning from the White House a month ago, conveyed through a letter, that Israel had 30 days to improve conditions in Gaza or face a potential arms embargo.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken suggested that Israel had taken steps required by the White House following a meeting with Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. According to a summary of their discussion, they reviewed Israel’s actions to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, including an aid package recently approved by the Israeli cabinet.
On October 13, the Biden administration warned Israel through a letter that it could violate U.S. law, which prohibits transferring offensive weapons to countries that impede humanitarian aid in conflict zones. The letter set a 30-day deadline for Israel to implement measures aimed at mitigating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Blinken reaffirmed America’s “ironclad” commitment to Israel. Similarly, during a White House meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Tuesday, U.S. President Joe Biden echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that his administration’s commitment to Israel is “ironclad” and highlighted the deep friendship shared between the two nations.
Later, Dermer met with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Estate in Florida. During their meeting, Dermer shared messages from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Israel’s strategic operations in Gaza and Lebanon, especially concerning the ongoing challenges with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.
It was reported that Dermer also met with Jared Kushner, Trump’s former senior adviser and son-in-law.
