US should have imposed sanctions on Israel ‘many months ago’: Analyst

The United States on Sunday (Oct 13) gave Israel an ultimatum: Allow more aid into Gaza within the next 30 days, or risk the US dialling back its military support. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin delivered the warning through a letter which outlined specific steps that Israel must take, including allowing a minimum of 350 trucks to enter Gaza every day.

He also gives his thoughts on how effective the warning will be in getting Israel to increase humanitarian access to Gaza.
