Reason #285939 why Donald Trump was reelected president last Tuesday. [IsraelTimes] Ahead of Wednesday deadline for increase of aid to enclave, US defense chief Austin reportedly gives ‘sharp’ message to new counterpart Katz that arms supply could be jeopardized
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reportedly conveyed a "sharp" message to his new Israeli counterpart Israel Katz during their first phone conversation on Friday, saying Israel risks jeopardizing the ongoing provision of US weaponry for the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
war if it does not credibly show that it has improved the supply and distribution of aid to Gazook noncombatants.
A Channel 12 report on Saturday noted that in mid-October, Austin and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
 ...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...
warned Israel in a letter that it had 30 days — until November 13 — to implement significant improvements to the humanitarian situation in Gaza or jeopardize the continued supply of US weapons.
The drop in aid supplies, they warned at the time, called into question Israel’s commitment that it would not restrict the entry of aid into Gaza and that it is using US weapons in line with international law.
That written commitment was provided last March in order to ensure Israel’s compliance with a national security memorandum (NSM) issued by Biden in February. The memo applies to all recipients of US security assistance.
With the 30-day period set to expire on Wednesday, Austin, according to Saturday’s TV report, urged Katz on Friday to raise the issue before the cabinet and said Israel needed to maintain what Katz told him was a recent increase in aid;. He also stressed the need to ensure there is no harm to noncombatants in Gaza war.
Katz reportedly responded that Israel is trying to cooperate on the aid issue, but Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
keeps stealing supplies and selling them for high prices. Israel wants to be sure it reaches the populace, Katz said, and is working with Arab states to help ensure this.
The TV report said Israel believes the US intends to go "all the way" in pressing Israel on this issue, rather than letting it slide because the Biden administration will be out of office in two months.
In practice, the report said, this means that if Washington is not convinced there has been a dramatic change for the better as regards aid delivery and distribution, there could be a "direct collision" on the issue of arms supplies.
In its readout of the Austin-Katz call, the US Defense Department noted that the secretary emphasized "the need to improve the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza."
Israel has greatly improved aid access to Gaza in recent weeks, US State Department front man Matthew Miller said last week, including the opening of the Kissufim Border Crossing, which brings the number of crossing points into the Strip to five.
While Israel has made progress on the matter, Miller said there was more work to be done to meet the requirements posed in the October 13 letter.
"We have continued to press them, and we have seen them take additional steps," Miller said, noting that the United States has also urged Israel to ensure that at least 350 aid trucks enter Gaza daily. On Tuesday, 229 trucks were allowed in, still below the target.
On Friday, the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
’ independent Famine Review Committee issued a rare warning that there was a "strong likelihood" of imminent famine in parts of north Gaza with immediate action required from the warring parties to ease a catastrophic situation.
The IDF rejected the FRC report, saying it relied on "partial, biased data and superficial sources with vested interests," and claimed that it was facilitating full aid transfer efforts to all areas of the Gaza Strip.
The IDF said that since the war started in October of last year, over 39,000 trucks carrying more than 840,000 tons of food have entered Gaza, and meetings were taking place daily with the UN, which had 700 trucks of aid awaiting pickup and distribution.
