Israel okayed Jordanian airdrop into Gaza — report
The Walla news site reports that the Jordanian airdrop of medical aid into Gaza was coordinated with Israel. The report cites an unnamed “senior Israeli source.”
The US has not commented on the airdrop, which came after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held talks in Amman on Saturday with his counterparts from Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Blinken visited the West Bank, Iraq and Cyprus on Sunday as he continued his whirlwind trip, which has focused on aid for beleaguered civilians in Gaza and preventing attacks by Iran-backed groups on American troops.
