Other officials advocated continuing to pressure the Israelis on the issue rather than suspending arms sales, and Blinken eventually listened to them, the report said. Eight international human rights organizations said in a report on Tuesday that Israel had failed to meet US demands to resolve the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip by the set deadline, noting that 15 of the 19 measures had not been implemented and four had been partially implemented. In mid-October, Blinken and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin sent a letter to Israel demanding that it take urgent steps to improve the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza within 30 days or face consequences related to US arms deliveries. Israel has been repeatedly accused of obstructing humanitarian supplies to the Gaza Strip and imposing strict restrictions on the transportation of humanitarian goods. Israel has denied the claims, publishing reports that more than 900,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid entered the Palestinian enclave in less than a year.
