In leaked letter, US officials demand Israel to make 15 policy changes in Gaza or risk arms embargo.
Failure to comply "may have implications for U.S. policy," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reportedly wrote.
(Oct. 15, 2024 / JNS) If the Jewish state doesn’t take a series of measures to improve humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip within the next 30 days, it could risk “implications” for U.S. policy, potentially including an arms embargo, according to a letter from the U.S. defense and state secretaries leaked to Axios.
The letter, which Axios published on Tuesday, purports to come from Antony Blinken, the U.S. secretary of state, and Lloyd Austin, the U.S. defense secretary. It is addressed to Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defense minister, and Ron Dermer, the Israeli strategic affairs minister.
