A letter written jointly by Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, and Lloyd Austin, the defence secretary, exhorts Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to ease humanitarian suffering in the territory by lifting restrictions on the entry of assistance within 30 days or face unspecified policy ‘implications’. Its authenticity was confirmed by a state department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, at a news briefing on 15 October

  1. The 30 days is not up until after the presidential election. The USA has repeatedly looked pathetic supporting Israel behind the veil of having the right to defend itself, with lip service saying the way Israel does so matters.

    Was it even a leak, or just intended to look like a leak? Was it a leak from Israel to send a message to the USA? Israel has repeatedly rebuffed USA statements about the prospects of an imminent cease fire agreement.

    Deep cynicism is deserved.

  2. I can't understand why the US is supporting a country that is now firing on UN troops and UN bases.. Biden has strong Irish ancestry and lots of these UN peacekeepers are Irish troops. How will the US respond if Isreali troops hit Irish troops acting on behalf of the UN..??
