U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin sent a letter on Oct. 13 to their Israeli counterparts with an ultimatum: Israel must take steps within 30 days to improve the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza .

If Israel fails to comply with the demands by Nov. 13 , the United States could suspend military assistance to Israel .

Determining if Israel has met the demands could be the first major decision Biden administration has to make during the transition period after the presidential election.
