[based on speech given to US Senate]
"Thursday marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel.
Hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting to enter Gaza, sitting just across the border, but are denied entry by Israeli authorities.
… Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Israel’s policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers.” "
No I think the EU should do it, as they are part of NATO. That’s the message that needs to be sent. Which I think won’t ever happen.
You might wanna check for a source on that though. While China has supplied aid in the form of money and supplies which have reached Gaza through Egypt (Rafah crossing). They have not landed a plane or airdropped anything into Gaza or the broader Palestine areas. There were a few social media claims, but they aren’t real.
You’re right, I was confusing it with them flying aid into Lebanon, the aid they’ve given to Palestine has been through Egypts crossing.
So you’d rather have EU declare war on the usa?
That would be hilarious. But the US is doing nothing but supplying weapons and pretending not to hear the screams.
