DEEP DIVE — It’s a kind of “non-public” paperwork that was virtually 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 shortly leaked to Israel’s Channel 12, was “not about making any sort of threats.”
“It’s about seeing the scenario reversed,” State spokesman Matthew Miller stated, “in order that the civilians in Gaza who usually are not getting satisfactory entry to meals and drugs and different humanitarian items right this moment truly see because of our efforts a change of their each day lives.”
