Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, says the US will “make judgements about what kind of progress” Israel has made on improving the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip this week, reports. The statement on “Face the Nation” came as a 30-day deadline set by the US for Israel to address what its officials called a “catastrophic humanitarian situation” in the Gaza Strip looms. In a letter on October 13, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin told Israel to take steps within 30 days or risk restrictions on American military aid. These include increasing the level of aid getting into Gaza to at least 350 trucks a day, institute additional humanitarian passes and provide increased security for humanitarian sites. Sullivan told that Biden, Blinken and Austin will “make judgments about what we do in response” after its assessment.
