US Gives Israel 30 Days to Improve Gaza Aid

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated, with Israel halting nearly all deliveries of essential supplies, which has been linked to the recent outbreak of violence with Hamas. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell criticized the U.S. for allowing Israel a month to improve conditions, labeling the situation as catastrophic and urging immediate action to prevent further casualties. Meanwhile, the Biden administration's warning to Israel marks a significant shift in U.S. policy, emphasizing potential restrictions on military aid if humanitarian aid is not increased. Analysts suggest that Israel may only provide minimal aid to satisfy U.S. demands, particularly given the timing of the ultimatum, which falls just after U.S. elections. Critics argue that Israel's approach to the conflict often involves targeting civilians under the pretext of military necessity. The ongoing situation reflects deep divisions within the EU regarding their stance on Israel's military actions and the need for humanitarian intervention.
