“The use of starvation as a weapon is a war crime. Israel’s use of aid as a bargaining chip isn’t new, but it is still outrageous. The delivery of aid should never be tied to anything else. One of the biggest failures of U.S. policy in Gaza has been the decision to link humanitarian assistance to other conditions. … The Israeli government has been ignoring its obligations for the last seventeen months, and it has faced no pressure to change course. The evidence that Israel is committing a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza was already overwhelming, and this cutoff of aid is more proof. Despite the brief respite of the last few weeks, famine is stalking Gaza as a result of this deliberate policy of starvation.” (03/03/25)
