DEEP DIVE — It’s a kind of “personal” paperwork that was nearly definitely written for public consumption. A spokesman for Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted that the strict letter from Blinken and Protection Secretary Lloyd Austin to Israeli leaders, dated Sunday and rapidly leaked to Israel’s Channel 12, was “not about making any type of threats.”
“It’s about seeing the scenario reversed,” State spokesman Matthew Miller mentioned, “in order that the civilians in Gaza who will not be getting enough entry to meals and medication and different humanitarian items at this time really see because of our efforts a change of their day by day lives.”
