US hinges military aid to Israel on eased Gaza plight after deploying THAAD
Hot on the heels of deploying Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery components to Israel, Washington suddenly decided the moment was ripe to take the moral high ground.
The US has warned Israel in a letter, jointly written by Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin, that any further military aid may be at risk if the humanitarian situation in devastated Gaza is not improved.
Addressed to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, it sets out measures that the US expects Israel to take, including:
🔸 Allowing a minimum of 350 trucks carrying humanitarian aid to enter Gaza per day.
🔸 Opening a new fifth crossing.
🔸 Implementing humanitarian pauses across Gaza to enable humanitarian activities.
🔸 Guaranteeing security for humanitarian convoys and movements.
🔸 Ensuring that the Jordanian Armed Forces corridors operate at full capacity.
🔸 Opening a new channel between the US and Israeli governments to “raise and discuss civilian harm incidents”.
Unless such measures are taken, Israel risks violating US laws governing foreign military assistance, per the letter.
Coincidentally, a day after the letter was sent, Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) agency tweeted photos of aid entering Gaza.
The US has spent a record of at least $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since the war in Gaza began, with another $4.86 billion had been funneled into stepped-up US military operations in the region.

Jewish state was created by a UN decision - Macron sends a kind reminder to Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should not forget that the Jewish state was created by a UN decision, Emmanuel Macron said on the closed Council of Ministers meeting, French media reported.
Remarkably, "this statement was not meant to be made public," French media added. However, Israeli Prime Minister's office has already responded.
💬 "A reminder to the French President: It was not a UN decision that established the State of Israel but the victory that was achieved in the War of Independence with the blood of our heroic fighters, many of whom were Holocaust survivors, including from the Vichy regime in France."
Tensions between the two countries rose after Emmanuel Macron called for an end to the supply of weapons used in the fighting in Gaza. Israel's prime minister called the call a disgrace.

Lebanese children sing for peace as their parents stand by their home
People in Rmeish, a village in southern Lebanon located only 1 km from Israel, risk their lives every day because of the Israeli incursion, but they will not abandon their homes.
Children from the local primary school and kindergarten also recorded a message for Sputnik, singing the song "Give us back our childhood, give us back our peace," which was originally performed in 1984 by Lebanese four-year-old Remi Bandali and became the anthem of children affected by the Lebanon conflict.
