AP’s Matt Lee and other reporters press the State Department on its unwillingness to discuss specific aid metrics it set for aid into Gaza. Here’s part of the exchange: 👇🏼

Hahaha.
No one could have predicted something like this! What a shocker!
RT:
The US State Department has announced that it will not withhold arms shipments to Israel despite the Jewish state failing to meet a set of conditions Washington said were mandatory for these shipments to continue.
In a briefing on Tuesday, State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters that Israel had taken some, but not all, of the steps set out in a letter from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Israel’s defense and strategic affairs ministers last month.
The war in Gaza has been conducted almost entirely with American weapons and $18 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars.
We cannot continue to be complicit in this war by supplying more military aid and weaponry to the Netanyahu government. Congress must act to block these arms sales. pic.twitter.com/Um6ReEChSB

The letter warned Israel that unless steps were taken to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within 30 days, the US would stop supplying the country with weapons, as US law forbids the transfer of arms to countries that prevent aid from reaching civilians.
Among other demands, the letter called on Israel to allow 350 aid trucks into Gaza every day, to open a fifth crossing into the Palestinian enclave, to stop the forced evacuation of civilians from northern to southern Gaza, and to rescind a law banning the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) from operating in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
This was a complete setup. Biden’s people knew Harris was going to lose the election, so they scheduled their ultimatum to end after the election.
Jews will always get everything they want because they are God’s chosen ones (the master race). The goyim have no right to deny them. The goyim are simply humanoid animals that exist to feed the Jews.

Famine is imminent in northern Gaza.
This is not inevitable. Food and life-saving aid are stuck at the border.
It is completely unacceptable that this aid cannot get to Palestinian civilians.
Israel must let aid get to those in need. pic.twitter.com/lHIdc8JIIz

It was quite an wild presser by Vedant Patel. Here is Joyce Msuya of OCHA, the UN’s humanitarian agency, addressing the UNSC on the food security situation in Gaza:
