UN Warns Gaza 'Survival at Risk,' Washington Approves More Bombs
The New Arab highlights the UN's dire warning: Gaza's chances of survival are at risk as Israeli attacks continue, even post-ceasefire. It's a tragedy broadcast daily. What they don't often show is the immediate legislative back-patting from Washington. For instance, just last week, Congress approved another $14.1 billion in aid for Israel, attached to a bill (HR 815) that House Speaker Mike
Johnson pushed through despite bipartisan opposition. This money is allocated even as UN agency heads plead for basic humanitarian access. One might wonder about the timing: Senator John Fetterman, who recently doubled down on unwavering support for Netanyahu's government, has received significant donations from pro-Israel PACs over his career (according to OpenSecrets.org data), and voted for
this exact bill. The 'survival risk' isn't just about Israeli attacks; it's also about who funds them and who looks away. How many UN warnings does it take before we question the definition of 'aid'?
