US warns Israel to increase humanitarian aid to northern Gaza
Summary: U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken warned Israel that more humanitarian aid must reach civilians in northern Gaza. He indicated potential consequences under U.S. law if Israel does not increase aid efforts, following a meeting with Israeli leaders in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Blinken's discussions included concerns over Israel's military tactics in Gaza, which some reports describe as forced displacement of civilians. Israeli officials denied these tactics, prompting Blinken to urge clearer public communication on the matter.
The U.S. is also trying to manage Israel's military response to regional threats, including Iran and Hezbollah. Blinken emphasized the need for de-escalation amid ongoing violence, but did not provide specific updates on diplomatic efforts.
