White House says warning to Israel over Gaza aid similar to one sent in April

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

Asked about the letter that the Biden administration sent to Israel earlier this week in which it warned that continued US security assistance will be at risk if Jerusalem doesn’t address the Gaza humanitarian crisis in 30 days, White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre stresses that the message is similar to one that Washington sent in April, which Israel responded to constructively.

She reiterates at a press briefing that the timing of the letter had to do with the major drop in aid over the past several months.
