Western officials believe that without US pressure, Israel would not have allowed even minimal humanitarian aid to enter Gaza."Under the protection of the American security guarantee, he carried out attacks in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iran, without informing his American allies in advance and despite US warnings of escalation," the newspaper writes.AP</blockquote>
