The U.S. administration must honor U.S. laws prohibiting military aid to countries obstructing humanitarian assistance. Israel's ongoing restrictions on aid deliveries to Gaza violate the Foreign Assistance Act's Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act provisions. This disturbing pattern undermines international humanitarian law and contributes to the suffering of civilians, including reports of starvation. Continuing to provide offensive weapons under these conditions would reinforce inhumane policies and undermine American principles. The ethical path forward is to suspend all forms of military assistance to Israel. Civilian protection must be the priority over arming conflicts that breed further tragedy. The United States has leverage to promote human rights compliance - it is imperative that we use it.
