🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱U.S WARNS ISRAEL: FEED GAZA OR WE WILL CUT OFF OUR WEAPONS

Defense Secretary Austin delivered a strong message to Israel’s Defense Minister Katz, warning that US military support for Israel’s war efforts could be restricted if it fails to significantly improve humanitarian aid access to civilians in Gaza.

The US issued a deadline for Israel to ease aid access, demanding credible proof that supplies are reaching non-combatants in Gaza—a condition previously outlined in a National Security Memorandum signed by Biden in February.

With the 30-day review period ending soon, Austin underscored the urgency, reportedly pressing Katz to raise the issue within the Israeli cabinet.

US and UN officials are concerned that a shortage of aid and civilian protections could compromise Israel’s compliance with international law, calling into question continued support.

Katz reassured Austin that Israel is working with Arab nations to ensure that aid reaches civilians but stressed that Hamas is seizing aid for profit, complicating efforts to protect civilians.

🚨🇵🇸U.N. WARNS OF GAZA FAMINE

A U.N.-backed panel warns of “imminent famine” in Gaza’s north as aid flow sharply declines.

80% of Gaza’s population (1.7 million) missed U.N. food rations in October.

Only 11 trucks reached northern Gaza this week, far short of the 350 trucks the U.S. requested daily.

The Biden administration has set a mid-November deadline for Israel to increase aid or risk U.S. military support.
