U.S. warns Israel on Gaza aid as Netanyahu holds emergency meeting
Summary: The U.S. has warned Israel that it is monitoring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's actions regarding humanitarian aid to Gaza. This comes as Israel holds an emergency meeting to discuss the situation amid rising concerns over civilian casualties from airstrikes.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield emphasized Israel's responsibility to avoid civilian harm. She stated that a "policy of starvation" in northern Gaza would be unacceptable and highlighted the urgent need for aid.
The warning follows reports that nine in ten Gazans may face acute food scarcity. Meanwhile, Israel is investigating whether Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a recent military operation, but no official confirmation has been made.
