The U.S. government has issued a 30-day ultimatum to Israel, demanding immediate action to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This warning follows a letter from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, which outlines the potential consequences of failing to improve conditions in Gaza. The Biden administration has emphasized that if Israel does not increase aid supplies and alleviate the humanitarian situation, it risks a review of military aid under U.S. laws governing foreign military assistance. Reports indicate that the White House is prepared to halt arms transfers if Israel does not comply. This ultimatum comes as the conflict in Gaza continues, now entering its 375th day.
