US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has made a decision to continue supplying arms to Israel after Washington’s deadline for improving the humanitarian situation in Gaza expires, Axios reporter Barak Ravid said, citing US officials, Paralel.Az reports citing TASS.

"US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has decided not to suspend military assistance to Israel after the Israeli government took some steps to improve the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the State Department said," he wrote. According to the journalist, "some of Blinken's senior aides and senior White House officials thought the ultimatum was effective and pushed Israel to change course. They advocated for continuing to press the Israelis on the issue instead of suspending weapons supplies."

US State Department Deputy Spokesman Vedant Patel said at a news briefing that Israel has taken several steps to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza in response to US demands. "At this time we haven't made an assessment that Israel is in violation of US law. We are going to continue to watch and assess their compliance with US law," he added. Patel said. "If we don't continue to see steps in the appropriate direction we will enforce US law," the spokesman emphasized.
