Just enough time for the US elections to not weigh in and cause any issues for either side, or party. Smart move by Biden administration.

Another empty, pre-election threat.

30 days seems oddly suspicious 🤨

This is sly. Realitically it would achieve the opposite of what they are saying. The aid entry numbers have been pretty good but the distribution problems extensive. Israel has their own extensive arsenal but less so of smart precise ammunitions. Witholding these arms won’t prevent Israel from continuing to target Hamas, it will just prevent them from targeting Hamas as precisely which will result in more civilian casualties and a greater humanitarian crisis. So really this move would be the USA tapping out but in no way helping the Palestinians in Gaza.

“We really mean it this time. Share food with your brother or next week we’re only sending you 2,000 bombs instead of the usual 4,000.” SMH

5 days ago, Hamas hijacked 47 out of 100 food trucks entering Gaza.
3 days ago, UNRWA made noise about the lack of food in Gaza, and blamed Israel.
Guess which story got the most traction?

What’s the American strategy?
The arms restrictions on Ukraine, the arms embargo on Israel, etc.

30 days is a lifetime to those in danger of attack by Israeli forces

How is it Israel’s problem that Hamas prevents civilians for accessing aid

If only there was some internationally governed organization who was given the authority and resources to provide aid to Gaza ….

>US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed the letter during a briefing later Tuesday but said it was a private correspondence that Washington hadn’t planned to publicize, hinting that Israeli officials were behind its release.
Weird that Joe Biden is apparently embarrassed to be seen as being anything other than totally complicit with the starvation of Palestinians in public, and also weird that Netanyahu apparently thinks they have anything to gain by publicizing this.
At any rate, it’s good to see Biden pushing back on Netanyahu’s worst policies, especially right before the election when Netanyahu has every incentive to make the Israel/Gaza/Lebanon/Syria/Iran situation look as bad as possible to make the Biden/Harris administration look helpless and inept, thereby helping his friend Donald Trump win another term.
How about Hamas addresses the humanitarian crisis they inflicted on their own people…

So, when is the deadline for returning the hostages?

How about Egypt create a safe zone in Egypt proper? Election year in the USA. The politicians do anything for votes.

About time the U.S. does something. They have been co-signing this for far too long. Bibi and others must face consequences.

US makes political gesture in run up to election with threat to do something during lame duck period. Everybody paying attention yawns

Can’t we just nuke the whole feckin part of that world and call it a day? Bloody sick of it all and I no longer have any empathy for any side as nothing is going to ever change

I love how we already had a referendum on Biden’s handling of the war, the Democratic Primary, and Biden DESTROYED the “ceasefire” and “uncommitted” vote by a margin of like 85% to 10%, but Biden keeps caving to the tiny extremist minorities’ demands anyway. Like many others, I put my rubber stamp on Biden’s support for Israel by casting a vote for him, but apparently our voices don’t matter b/c we don’t scream and throw hissy fits daily like little children.
Gaza receives plenty of aid. Hamas steals it. Biden or the Left doesn’t like that? Then send some boots on the ground to distribute the aid and protect it from the literal terrorists. Remember the time the US simply did an air drop of aid and killed at least five civilians? Pepperidge Farm remembers! Sure is easy to criticize the handling of urban combat against the most vile and cowardly terrorists in the entire world from your armchair when you don’t have to try and carry it out yourself, isn’t it?

Israel already [keeps track of the aid](https://gaza-aid-data.gov.il/main/) that goes in.
