I believe President Biden talked with Israel’s citizens in a speech that reflects the commitment of the USA to Israel. It is unconditional because we are both nations of moral people that value life and the expression of peaceful religious freedom.
I think Israel and Egypt are in very difficult positions that really reflects the violent nature of the circumstances in Gaza when it comes to the distribution of humanitarian aid and who will actually be the recipients.
There is a strong history within the border area with Israel and Egypt of terrorist activity on both sides of the border. Once the aid starts flowing there is concern it will make it into the wrong hands and the people will be deprived of that humanitarian assistance.
This violent presence is the innate nature of Gaza and has been for decades. It is a very difficult region of the Middle East when it comes to mitigating that violence and serving the people.
A large part of the distribution of the aid is putting assets in place that can mitigate interference by terrorists. In all honesty putting assets in place is mostly impossible. The people themselves will have to mitigate distribution.
Israel has consented to allow the aid into Gaza following the speech made by President Biden. The timeline to that is not yet determined.
Israel has a hornet’s nest of problems in securing the country from further terrorist attacks on their citizens. No country, be it Saudi Arabia or Iran should be stirring the pot of violence in the region if they actually care about the well being of the people of Gaza.
