Biden Threatens to Halt Military Aid to Israel if Humanitarian Conditions in Gaza ‘Not Improved’
The IDF says it “remains committed to facilitating humanitarian aid, especially in the medical field, while continuing its efforts to dismantle Hamas’ military and governance infrastructure embedded inside civilian areas.”
With Hamas holding over a hundred Israeli hostages for more than a year and terrorists regrouping in northern Gaza, President Joe Biden’s administration has reportedly threatened to cut U.S. military aid to Israel if humanitarian conditions in the Palestinian enclave are ‘not improved’ in the next 30 days.
“The Biden administration sent a letter to Israeli leaders on Monday demanding Israel take steps within 30 days to improve the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza or risk the supply of U.S. weapons to Israel being affected,” Israeli journalist Barak Ravid reported in the new website Axios.
“The Biden administration is extremely concerned about the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, especially as Israeli Defense Forces renew their operations in the northern Gaza Strip,” Ravid noted.
A recent letter jointly signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin threatened to halt U.S. military aid.
“In the letter, Blinken and Austin said recent evacuation orders issued by the IDF to the population in Gaza have forced about 1.7 million Palestinians into a small strip of land on the Gaza coast, exposing them to dangerous diseases.” the Axios article said. “They added that international aid organizations claim they can’t address the needs of Palestinian civilians and that trucks of humanitarian aid paid for by the U.S. are being held up by Israel at the border crossings with Gaza.”
The ultimatum from Washington comes as Israeli ground troops are pressing ahead with a ground offensive against Hamas terrorist forces regrouping in the area of Jabaliya, northern Gaza.

While Biden White House is putting pressure on Israel, Hamas is doing everything possible to maximize civilian casualties in Gaza. The Iran-backed jihadist group is using brute force to stop Gazans from moving to designated safe zones as the Israeli military advances on the Hamas stronghold of Jabaliya.
“Hamas is actively preventing Gazan civilians from heeding the IDF’s calls to move away from the combat zone in Jabaliya,” the IDF said in a press statement Monday. “In one conversation between an IDF representative and a Gazan civilian during the evacuation, the Gazan civilian described how Hamas forces were hitting them with sticks in order to prevent them from evacuating from the area.”
Since October 1, over 9,000 tons of humanitarian aid including food, water, gas, shelter equipment and medical supplies have entered Gaza through various crossings.

The military “remains committed to facilitating humanitarian aid, especially in the medical field, while continuing its efforts to dismantle Hamas’ military and governance infrastructure embedded inside civilian areas,” the IDF assured in a statement Tuesday.
Iran’s Quds Force chief Qaani, missing for weeks after Beirut airstrike, shown on state TV
The top general of Iran’s Islamic Guard (IRGC) and chief of the Quds Force, Esmail Qaani, has finally appeared on state TV after weeks of speculations about his fate. Qaani, who is in charge of Iran’s international terrorist activities, went missing in late September after an Israeli airstrike in Beirut targeted Hezbollah’s new likely chief, Hashem Safieddine.
Recent Arab media reports suggested that the Quds Force chief was being interrogated by the IRGC for allegedly passing on intelligence to Israel.
The Israel Hayom newspaper reported Tuesday:
Putting an end to weeks of speculation about his fate, Esmail Ghaani, the commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force, made a public appearance at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport early Tuesday. His presence dispels rumors of his death or injury that had circulated following an Israeli airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs in late September.
In the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday, Esmail Ghaani, commander of Iran’s Quds Force, was spotted at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport. He was there to receive the body of Abbas Nilforoushan, a high-ranking official of the organization in Lebanon, who was killed alongside Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.

Qaani was promoted to lead the Quds Forces in early 2020 after his predecessor Qassem Soleimani was killed in a U.S. airstrike ordered by President Donald Trump.
Israeli airstrike eliminates Hezbollah’s drone commander in Southern Lebanon
The Israeli armed forces eliminated a senior Hezbollah drone commander in a recent airstrike in southern Lebanon, the IDF announced Tuesday.
“A few days ago, the IAF [Israeli Air Force] eliminated the terrorist Khader Al-Abed Bahja, responsible for the area north of the Litani River in the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s Aerial Unit in the area of Nabatieh,” the IDF disclosed in a statement. “Under Bahja’s command, numerous aerial attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops were carried out from the area, making use of UAVs, surveillance aircraft, and explosive aircraft.”
Hezbollah’s Iranian-supplied drones pose a serious threat to Israeli military and civilians alike. On Sunday night, four Israeli soldiers were killed, and nearly 60 servicemen and civilians were injured in a Hezbollah drone strike in northern Israel.
As the Israeli ground offensive in Southern Lebanon enters its third week. The air force hit terror targets all across the Hezbollah-dominated country. “Over the past day, in coordination with ground troops, the IAF struck more than 200 Hezbollah terrorist targets in southern Lebanon and deep within Lebanon, including terrorist cells, anti-tank missile posts, and surface-to-surface missile launchers,” the IDF disclosed Tuesday.

The Times of Israel reported:
The IDF says it has arrested three members of the Hezbollah terror group’s elite Radwan force.
The three Radwan members were found in a shaft underneath a building, the IDF says.
The three were interrogated in the field after surrendering and were subsequently transferred to a prison facility in Israel.
The IDF separately publishes a video clip of the interrogation of a Hezbollah operative who claims that Radwan fighters ran away following Israel’s assassination of Hassan Nasrallah

Traitor Joe is a despicable, lowlife, anti-Western retard. He cannot be thrown onto the ash heap of history soon enough. And that goes for the rest of the self-hating, nihilist lunatics of the democrat party.
Blinken, a beta male of the first order and a real PUTZ.
Simply outrageous; Biden and the vile Dhimmi-crats are a total disgrace and evil enabler of, and, collaborators with, goose-stepping, genocidal and belligerent Islamofascists, Muslim supremacists and terrorists.
Hamas is solely responsible for conditions in Gaza, and, for starting this war.
Biden and the Dhimmi-crats are more concerned about the welfare of the Gazan “civilians” who elected, support and comprise the Hamas terrorist regime, than the Israeli and American hostages who’ve been raped and murdered, and, those who were kidnapped and still remain in captivity.
The fact that American hostages are still prisoner has been completely ignored and buried by the vile Dhimmi-crats, and, their media shills/lapdogs/trained seals.
Biden, Obama and the Dhimmi-crats gleefully gave/give hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief to the Iranian regime, but, will deny weapons to Israel in its existential battle against fanatical, genocidal and evil Islamofascism/Muslim supremacism. That says it all.
Hey, it’s only a handful of hostages taken and only a handful (1200) civilians murdered. Oh yes, and only a handful of missles (30,000+) fired into Israel. Of course the demo-rat administration is not concerned about the Israeli side of the issue.
Bibi to sleepy traitor Joe and Komrad Kamala:
– Pound sand
– Kick rocks
– Bang your head on the wall. (But not the Western Wall; your touch would defile it.)
– Swing from the chandelier.
– Spit plugged nickels
It’s curious indeed for the United States to be part of a military conflict and for me to be on the side of another nation but here we are.
I wish that the imposter Biden would STFU and go away. He knows less than nothing and is sand in the gears of any circumstance he finds himself involved in. He’s suffering from advanced dementia – would any of you go to a memory care unit and ask the advice of anyone on anything? NO! OF COURSE NOT! Why should we listen to him at this juncture? WE SHOULD NOT!
Bibi should just give Biden the middle finger and do what must be done, and if that includes bombing oil facilities, nuclear facilities, whatever he deems appropriate, fine by me.
Hey, Guyjones? This wasn’t actually a reply to you. Intended to be an original comment. Sorry.
No worries, mate.
It seems like Biden wants to drive Israel to use their most powerful weapons. That is a risk of withholding conventional weapons.
fjb is calling for not allowing nvidia ( and others) to ship chips to the middle east
he means israel
the dnc is fully “funded” now by omar and the paper trail would lead right back to hunters computer
if hunters computer even existed
So, this administration will be undercutting Israel right after the election.
I’m sure the timing is just a coincidence.
US requires Israel to revert to dumb bombs.
Dumb bombs work well as long as far more are used.
Let’s see, who is responsible for the so called humanitarian crisis? I hope that Israel blasts the hell out of the Iranian oil fields and their nukes or almost nukes.
Time. To take out Iran israel
fjb made a deal with them to hold off until after the elections
The passive-aggressive nature of this administration really ticks me off.
To not run afoul of commenting guidelines: Lets Go Brandon!
It’s an interesting response since Israel is not responsible for the humanitarian issues inside gaza. The gazans are since they elected a bunch of terrorists to run their region.
People keep saying this, but they never actually did that. There has never been an election for a government of the Gaza strip. The last election held there was for the Palestinian Authority legislature in Ramallah. Fatah won a majority overall, but Hamas won a majority of the vote in the Gaza strip, and based on that vote result it violently took control of the strip, murdered its Fatah rivals, and has been running the place ever since.
What’s more, with the high birthrate most of the current population didn’t even vote in that election. But they almost all support Hamas, or its Fatah and PIJ rivals who are exactly the same, because they’ve been brainwashed since birth to do so.
The Gaza “civilians” gleefully support Hamas—still do by a huge majority. They dance in the streets to celebrate every atrocity (thankfully as the area is flattened there are fewer streets where crowds can show up to abuse raped and murdered Israeli prisoners). The Gaza “civilians” cooperate with Hamas and became jailers for Israeli hostages. So at the very least they are an adjunct branch of Hamas terrorists. Therefore, I don’t care about humanitarian aid—it’s just a thing the of the back-stabbing Democrat regime whines about to appeal for votes from terrorist-lovers in places like Little Somalia, MN and Dearbornistan, MI. Starting a war has consequences and the supporters of Hamas, Hezbolla, the Houthis, and other Muslim reprobates need to learn that good and hard. Preferably the Amgen. Curtis LeMay way: “Kill enough of them and they quit fighting.”
Eliminating Hamas is an improvement.
Biden is angry Hamas isn’t allowed to kill Jews in a more peaceful environment.
Since the funding has already been approved by Congress where does it dictator bite me think he gets his power
From the same legislation that approved it. It’s all subject to the president’s discretion.
The Brandon Administration is doing everything it can to prevent Israel from achieving a decisive victory over Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. I wouldn’t expect anything less from an an Administration and nation that have forgotten how to win wars.
Our American military commanders should be ashamed of themselves.
Their Performance in Afghanistan and Iraq was pitiful.
No clear victory in either war after decades.
Israel would be foolish to listen to the Americans.
Especially as they are about to defeat Hamas
and Hizbolla and likely deal a serious blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
One of the administration’s objections is that COGAT inspecting the shipments for arms or other military & dual purpose items takes too long & delays the aid. They want Israel to admit all shipments without inspecting them.
What could possibly go wrong?
With allies like the reprobates fronted by Braindead Joe—the deposed president, you’ve always got to look out for the knife in the back.
No American aid to Gaza while Gaza is holding Americans hostage!
No providing aid and comfort to people who say they are our enemies!
“I was just following orders.” is not a valid excuse.
