Michael Herzog, Israel’s envoy in Washington, sent an identical letter to all 88 representatives to convey his disappointment in their position. Israel merely inspects trucks carrying goods to ensure they’re not transporting weapons or explosives, Herzog continued, adding that “there are today four humanitarian crossings from Israel to Gaza, including three to northern Gaza.”
Herzog’s letter comes as the Biden administration is expected to make a determination on whether Israel violated U.S. and international humanitarian law, which could lead to the U.S. halting military assistance to Israel.
