     @ayoub not surprised but
     
     > Leaked documents show that the secretary of state received two explosive reports on Israel blocking aid to Gaza—right before he told Congress the exact opposite.
     
     > In a statement to Congress on May 10, Blinken said, “We do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance.”
     
     > Before his statement to Congress, Blinken received a 17-page memo from USAID on Israel’s conduct, obtained by ProPublica, which described instances of Israel killing aid workers, bombing hospitals and ambulances, tearing down agricultural structures, regularly turning away trucks of food and medicine, and sitting on supply depots.
     
     
     Is it a lie? "We do not currently assess" could have been an accurate statement if those documents had not yet been formally processed by the right people in the right departments yet. It's slimy and misleading but it could be technically true.
