Biden Administration threatens to cut off military aid to Israel by November 13 if Gaza civilian situation doesn’t improve

The Biden Administration has issued an ultimatum to Israel that if the humanitarian situation in Gaza doesn’t improve by November 13th, it will cut military aid.

The warning follows a letter by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to their Israeli counterparts on October 13th.

The letter stated that if there were no amelioration of the condition of Gazan civilians in 30 days, there would likely be limitations on the delivery of weapons and supplies to Israel.

The US issues these warnings despite evidence that over half of the humanitarian aid Israel delivers to Gaza is stolen by Hamas terrorists, and the looting of supplies weakens Gazan civilians and strengthens Hamas.

So if Trump wins, does he commence his role straight away or does he have to wait a little bit?

Just wondering how much longer Israel would be constrained depending on when Biden would officially finish?
New POTUS don’t take over until mid January, offciially
But he will probably act as though he has already taken over, times being what they are
But legally Joe Biden can do what he wants until that time.
 
From everything I'm hearing, the Gazans are pretty much getting everything they need. Sure they're stuck in the middle of a war zone and Israel is trying real hard to let civilians know whenever they should clear out of an area.
Gaza Strip: Packs of cigarettes are smuggled in bags of humanitarian aid flour.
The flour bags are clearly marked: "Not for sale"
Gaza (read: Hamas) is receiving this "aid" for FREE, paid for by YOUR tax dollars and euros.

And instead of free flour to help the hungry populace, Hamas receives cigarettes that it then resells for €50 a pack to fund the war against Israel.

I'm surprised that there are enough hamas left to do this kind of stuff. Given human nature, once hamas can no longer confiscate aid and sell it, other enterprising gazans will take over...
 
US set to judge Israel progress on Gaza aid this week
The United States this week will decide whether Israel has made progress toward improving the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and how Washington will respond, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday as Israel began to make its case.

President Joe Biden’s administration told Israel in an Oct. 13 letter signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that the longtime US ally must take steps within 30 days on a series of measures or risk restrictions on American military aid.

“This week we will make our judgments about what kind of progress they have made,” Sullivan told the CBS program “Face the Nation.”

“And then Secretary Austin, Secretary Blinken, the president will make judgments about what we do in response, and I’m not going to get ahead of that.”

Just this week WHO made accusations of a famine in Gaza due to Israel not allowing aid to go to the Palestinians.
That has been proven untrue. And when IDF went into the hiding place of Sinwar there was a lot of aid in there that was supposed to be for the Palestinians.
The UN doesn't give up on demeaning Israel and making false accusations.
