The State Department will monitor the Gaza aid situation, but Israel is not in violation of U.S. law.

• The United States declared on Tuesday that there would be no substantial change in its policy towards Israel after the 30-day deadline for enhancing humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza expired.
• Israel's adherence to U.S. law will continue to be evaluated by the Department. If Israel fails to comply with these standards, it may face restrictions on U.S. military assistance.
• The humanitarian toll of Israel's war in Gaza is being increasingly highlighted by international organizations.

The United States declared on Tuesday that there would be no substantial change in its policy towards Israel after the 30-day deadline for enhancing humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza expired.

At this time, we have not determined if the Israelis are in violation of US law, according to Vedant Patel, the State Department principal deputy spokesperson, who made this statement during a press briefing in Washington.

"We've observed some advancements, but we want to see more transformations. We think that without U.S. intervention, these changes might not have occurred," stated Patel.

To remain eligible for foreign military financing under U.S. law, Israel must allow at least 350 trucks per day of aid to enter the Gaza Strip, as stated in a joint letter from Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, delivered on October 13.

Israel was urged to enhance security measures at humanitarian sites and increase the frequency of humanitarian pauses during its military operations, as per the letter.

A month has passed, and now, on average, more than 30 trucks enter Gaza daily, as per UNRWA commissioner general Philippe Lazarini.

Patel maintained the U.S. stance on Israel, which has faced criticism from various sources.

Patel stated that we desire to witness the improvement of the humanitarian situation's totality and believe certain actions will enable this progress to continue.

The U.S. demands have not been met by Israel, according to a recent assessment by a consortium of humanitarian aid groups, while international organizations continue to raise concerns about the humanitarian impact of the conflict in Gaza.

Since the conflict began in Oct. 2023, more than 43,000 people have been killed in Gaza, following a surprise Hamas attack on Israel that resulted in over 1,000 deaths.

Earlier this month, the United Nations Human Rights Office stated that the majority of those killed in Gaza were women and children who perished in residential building strikes.

Biden has reaffirmed his unwavering support for Israel, declaring it to be "ironclad" during a meeting with Israeli President Herzog in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
