U.S. Maintains Military Assistance and Arms Transfers to Israel Amid Gaza Aid Improvements

Nov 12, 2024, 06:45 PM

The U.S. State Department announced that there will be no change in military assistance or arms transfers to Israel despite the 30-day deadline for improving humanitarian conditions in Gaza. This decision follows a meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Israeli Minister Ron Dermer. The U.S. has not made an assessment that Israel is in violation of U.S. law, and improvements have been noted in the flow of aid into Gaza. State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel confirmed that Israel did not violate U.S. law regarding humanitarian aid, allowing military assistance to continue. The Biden administration confirmed that Israel will face no policy consequences for the lack of aid getting into Gaza.
