According to a report by Al Jazeera, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was briefed multiple times about Israel blocking US aid to the Gaza Strip, but allegedly chose to ignore the assessments. The report cites sources who claim that Blinken was informed of the issue in 2021 and 2022, but no action was taken. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) had planned to provide $150 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza, but the funds were frozen due to Israeli objections. The report comes amid ongoing tensions between Israel and the Palestinian territories.
