US warning to Israel does not mean the end of the war

With international warnings continuing about the seriousness of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip due to the stifling Israeli blockade coupled with a large-scale military operation in which Israel is killing the Palestinian people without mercy, the United States has issued a new threat to Israel about the need to improve the situation.


US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin delivered a message to Israel demanding urgent steps within 30 days to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, to avoid legal consequences for US military aid to Israel under US law.


The question that arises, accompanied by disapproval and denunciation of the American position: Is it reasonable for the United States to demand only improving the social situation of the citizens of Gaza, as if everything else is going well? Wouldn’t the Biden administration have been worthy of obliging Israel in a direct and unambiguous manner to stop the war of extermination and end the aggression file once and for all, if it was truly keen on improving the humanitarian situation in the Strip?


At a time when the US administration is writing to Israel, expressing its deep concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation, and demanding urgent and sustainable steps and measures from the Israeli government, we ask here: What caused this dangerous humanitarian situation? Wasn’t the reason the American weapons with which Israel kills our people, destroys their homes and burns their tents, thus exacerbating their deteriorating humanitarian situation?


Why shouldn’t the United States be the one to take the initiative and take all the steps that would end this bloody war and stop it forever? The dangerous and catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza is caused by the war, and its results are what have ravaged all aspects of Palestinian life. There is no doubt that the continuation of the war will deepen and increase the level of the humanitarian catastrophe, because the ongoing Israeli aggression is what is preventing the arrival of aid, food, water and medicine, and the conditions will remain the same as long as the fires of war continue.


The American warning to Israel is another failed attempt to beautify the aggression and try to give it a legitimate character, at a time when the United States realizes that Israel is waging a war of extermination, and that this war has no goal other than eliminating our people and displacing them from northern Gaza to the center and south.


The war and the continuation of aggression are the greatest challenge facing the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. As long as a binding, bold and courageous decision has not been issued to stop this aggression immediately and implement the decision to stop on the ground, all other appeals and demands are considered marginal and ineffective. They are considered a permit and authorization for Israel to continue shedding the blood of the Palestinians, with little attention to the entry of some trucks loaded with food, water and medicine aid. In return, the United States pledges to continue supporting and supplying Israel with weapons, equipment and military ammunition, through which the Palestinians are slaughtered.


The United States is a true partner of Israel in the war of extermination, and they bear responsibility for the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Strip. If the United States does not take serious action to stop Israel and end the global war on Gaza, it will remain a partner and contributor to the criminal campaign against our people, who do not need to end the war first, and then aid and all facilities to improve their living conditions will reach them. As for the continuation of the war, it will ultimately remain the biggest obstacle preventing the arrival of aid, and thus not changing the humanitarian situation and its deadly crisis.


The United States is saying to Israel: Feed them and then kill them.
