The United States will not withhold military aid from Israel, the State Department said Tuesday, after top Biden administration officials warned a month ago that they would consider doing so if the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza did not improve.

State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said there would be no change to U.S. policy at the end of the 30-day deadline the U.S. set for Israel to improve conditions in Gaza. Aid groups and U.N. officials say Israel has largely failed to comply with U.S. demands, a Washington Post analysis found.

At this point I believe the US simply can't withhold support from Israel for some reason.
And they also can't publically disclose why that is.
But the consequences of withholding aid must be worse (at least for those in government positions) than a Trump dictatorship.

Who'd a thunk allowing a genocidal, theocratic ethnostate access to nuclear weapons would ever lead to issues?

Anyway enough about the US
