The White House had previously criticized Israel for the slow delivery of humanitarian aid and attacks on aid trucks, but faced difficulty in condemning Egypt for blocking aid to Gaza. Egypt has been blocking the passage of aid trucks into Gaza since Israel took control of the Rafah Crossing. When asked about Egypt’s actions, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did not provide a direct response, stating that diplomatic conversations would continue. Egypt has also refused to accept Palestinian refugees from the conflict, reinforcing a border wall to prevent their entry.
