The U.S. has sent its strongest message yet to Israel, urging immediate action to improve conditions in Gaza or face possible military aid restrictions.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Israel’s government that failure to act could change U.S. policy, marking a significant shift in their stance.
Concerns are growing as Israel imposes restrictions on commercial imports and humanitarian movements, drawing criticism from Washington.
The letter was meant as a wake-up call, not a threat, U.S. officials say, but the urgency to act is clear.
Israeli officials have not yet responded, while the U.S. has outlined steps to improve the humanitarian situation within the next month.
