# The US threatens Israel: resolve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza – or we will impose an arms embargo

Translation:

The US sent a clear message to Israel, according to which the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip must be resolved within a month, and if not, an arms embargo will be imposed on it, N12 learned today (Tuesday). A letter to ministers Ron Dermer and Yoav Galant, where the demand was conveyed.

“In accordance with Israel’s commitment in March 2024 to allow and not prevent the transfer of American humanitarian aid or aid supported by the administration in Gaza, the State Department must conduct an audit in accordance with the aid law,” it said.

The administration expressed deep concern over the “deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza in recentweeks”, and raised a demand to see urgent steps within the next month in order to reverse the trend. The Americanspoint out that since the promises made in March, the lowest amount of aid entering the Strip was recorded in September.

“In order to change the negative humanitarian trend and in accordance with its promises, Israel must take concrete steps within 30 days. Failure to implement these steps may lead to consequences for the policy of the United States in accordance with American law (the foreign aid program to Israel – arms embargo).”

This seems dumb politically for this admin, but that wouldn’t be new. 

Why threaten Israel with an arms embargo 3 weeks before an election in the US and give Israel a date to comply of 30 days? 

If it’s to shore up American Muslim support, is telling the rest of the country you’d abandon Israel (and that’s how it could be spun) a winning move politically? Does it matter if you win Dearborn and lose Pennsylvania?

If it’s a genuine humanitarian concern, this admin should have come to with a real plan and not a doomed PR pier. 

Even if you are a diehard Israel supporter, you should still support pressure on Netanyahu to resolve Palestine in a peaceful and dignified way.

There will never be peace in the region as long as it remains in limbo

Israel Has informed the people of Gaza to evacuate south as raids on the city will begin. Since only Hamas terrorists are left in town, Israel does not need to provide them aid.

But, as was reported previously Hamas has stopped the people from leaving, Then Hamas should feed them.

> “Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

Prime Minister Menachem Begin, last time Biden threatened an arms embargo when he was a senator in ’82.

Still stands.

Odd time to do this.

Election is coming up. We just sent more military hardware with actual troops.

Unsure what Biden’s plan actually is. Seems like he tosses darts at the policy wall and bases his decisions on this.

Hamas stealing aid and forcing Gazans to stay put and not evacuate is what is causing the humanitarian crisis.

The US enforcing embargo on Israel is the shortest joke ever.

I’ll believe it when I see it

Maybe this will sway some of those jill stein voters…

More starvation propaganda.
