After one year of denying reality and helping facilitate the murder of more than 50,000 Palestinians with US bombs, the United States sends a letter to Israel demanding a list of compliances with international law which Israel has failed to adhere to, with 30 days to respond before "consequences".

Secretary Blinken's April 19 letter to Minister Gallant noted that - in accordance with U.S. law and polisy, including National Security Memorandum 20 (NSM-20) - the Departments of State and Defense must continually assess your government's

government - including haiting commercial imports, denying or impeding nearly 90 percent of humanitarian movements between northern and southern Gaza in September, continuing burdensome and excessive dual-use restrictions, and instituting new vetting and onerous liability and customs requirements for humanitarian staff and shipments - together with increased lawlessness and looting - are contributing to an accelerated deterioration in the conditions in Gaza.
