US says it will not limit arms transfers to Israel after some aid improvements to Gaza

The Biden administration said on Tuesday that Israel made good but limited progress in increasing the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and that it therefore would not limit arms transfers to Israel as it threatened to do a month ago. 

However, relief groups say conditions are worse than at any point in the 13-month-old war. 

State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said on Tuesday the progress to date must be supplemented and sustained but that “we at this time have not made an assessment that the Israelis are in violation of US law.”
