"Israel resumed on Sunday the water supply to the southern Gaza Strip after strong pressure from the Biden administration, two Israeli officials told Axios. Israel's decision to completely stop the water supply to Gaza exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with aid groups warning water supplies were quickly running out. Israel announced on the second day of the war that it was stopping all of the water supply to Gaza.
Israeli Minister of Energy Israel Katz had said that "no water spigot will be opened" until the hostages Hamas is holding were freed. Israeli officials say the Biden administration pressed the Israeli government in the last 48 hours to resume the water supply, especially to the southern part of the Gaza Strip. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN on Sunday that his Israeli counterpart Tzachi Hanegbi informed him of the Israeli decision to resume water supply to the southern Gaza Strip."
So basically Biden is trying to get hostages killed by doing this. Why would you pressure your allies to turn on water to give aid and comfort to terrorists? They obviously threatened Israel by threatening to withdraw funding, which makes Biden the first president since Obama to violently threatened Israel; how is this not a larger story?
If you allow Palestinians to have water and other necessities, you are basically supporting Hamas, and you are basically signing a death warrant for the hostages (who may also benefit from having water) and it will be basically impossible to find these hostages without the ability to turn off the water.
