US Senator Chris Van Hollen highlighted that any action obstructing the delivery of aid to Gaza violates international law, as reported by the Washington Post.

He also mentioned a decision made by Itamar Ben Gvir, the Minister of Security of the extremist Israeli Occupation government, and Bezalel Stritch, the Minister of Finance of the Israeli Occupation government, to block humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza. Van Hollen emphasized the importance of providing additional aid and humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza.

Van Hollen cautioned that the US must be cautious not to be complicit in any potential war crimes in Gaza.

He underscored that Washington should halt the supply of bombs used by the Israeli Occupation government in Gaza until the Netanyahu administration permits more aid to reach the region.
