The Biden administration’s threat to cut military aid to Israel was, once again, toothless

In mid-October , Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin sent a strongly worded letter to top Israeli officials.

They demanded that Israel improve humanitarian conditions by letting in 350 trucks of food aid per day, ending the forced evacuation of north Gaza , and opening more crossings into the territory.

If Israel failed to do so within 30 days , the US would consider enforcing arms-transfer laws which prohibit sending weapons to nations that block humanitarian aid.
