Israel Sends Record Number of Aid Trucks into Gaza; White House: ‘Not Good Enough’

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan mentioned Tuesday that Israel’s efforts to extend humanitarian support to Gaza are “not good enough,” even though a report quantity of support vehicles are getting into the territory day by day since final week.

As Breitbart News reported earlier Tuesday, Israel moved a report quantity of support vehicles into Gaza on Sunday, and once more on Monday, when the quantity of vehicles reached 419. Prior to the conflict, 70 meals vehicles entered Gaza day by day.

The enhance in support has been occurring all through the conflict, however accelerated after President Joe Biden demanded an “immediate ceasefire” from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu final week after the unintentional deaths of seven support employees. Israel pulled its floor troops out of southern Gaza and took steps to open extra crossing factors into Gaza for humanitarian support — together with the Erez Crossing, which Hamas terrorists attacked on October 7.

Still, Sullivan was not glad. “That is good; it is not good enough,” he mentioned. He didn’t say what else Israel needed to do to fulfill the considerations of the administration, however instructed that U.S. coverage towards Israel would depend upon Israel’s compliance with the White House’s yet-to-be-defined calls for.

The United Nations claimed that Israel had not truly elevated support to Gaza, as a result of the vehicles that entered Gaza have been half-full. However, because the United Nations itself admitted, that has been a regular requirement by Israeli authorities to allow the screening of the vehicles. Israel says that the United Nations is failing to distribute sufficient of the help, a lot of which is stolen by Hamas.

Sullivan additionally urged Congress to move a renewal of the federal government’s Section 702 surveillance authority — the powers that have been abused in 2016 and 2017 to spy on members of the Trump marketing campaign. That improper surveillance got here after Sullivan and different Hillary Clinton marketing campaign staffers spread the “Russian collusion” hoax, which in flip prompted the FBI to focus on Trump associates. Sullivan has by no means apologized for his function in deceptive Congress and the media.
