The United States has decided not to reduce its military aid to Israel, despite the expiry of a previously set deadline to improve humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip. This decision was announced by Vedant Patel, spokesman for the US State Department, at a press conference in Washington.

Patel explained that the US government is continuing to closely monitor developments in the region, but is not currently planning any changes to its existing support for Israel. The deadline originally set to make progress on the humanitarian situation in Gaza has not led to any adjustment in military aid.

No change in US military aid

The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains a key concern for the international community. Despite the challenges in the region, Patel emphasized that the US will uphold its commitments to Israel. The decision not to cut military aid reflects the US's continued support for its ally.
