The US will begin air dropping food aid to the people of Gaza, President Joe Biden announced on Friday, as the humanitarian crisis deepens and Israel continues to resist opening additional land crossings to allow more assistance into the war-torn strip.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Biden said the US would be “pulling out every stop” to get additional aid into Gaza, which has been under heavy bombardment by Israel since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks.
“Aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough,” the US President said, noting “hundreds of trucks” should be entering the enclave.
Biden said the US is “going to insist that Israel facilitate more trucks and more routes to get more and more people the help they need, no excuses”.
He also noted the efforts to broker a deal to free the hostages and secure an “immediate ceasefire” that would allow additional aid in.
Calls? Did he call Netanyahu and threaten him to withhold weapons? We’ve heard this one before. Time to start showing results.
Sort of.
Israel has two weeks to sign a letter that says “we won’t commit war crimes”? This is after the date israel said they are going to invade Rafah.
Furthermore israel has violated like 8 “red lines” Biden gave them and no consequences ever happened.
Israel didn’t even show up to the talks in Cairo today. Netanyahu isn’t feeling an ounce of pressure from Biden.
