Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to criticism on the part of the Israelis on Monday morning on the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“From the start of the war, we said that to win the victory, an essential condition must be fulfilled – we must not authorize a famine situation in Gaza. No one will support us if this happens,” Netanyahu said.
“To win the victory, the problem must be resolved. Until we establish the designated aid areas, minimum basic bridging assistance must be provided to prevent famine,” said the Prime Minister.
According to him, the aid had been interrupted because “we discovered that Hamas was pillaging”, despite the previous claims according to which the suspension was in response to the rejection by Hamas of Witkoff’s proposal.
He added: “We will take control of all the areas of the Gaza Strip. There are intense and powerful fights there. Our soldiers do a remarkable job, including this morning. “
Earlier Monday, Gaza reports said the Israeli air force had launched a large -scale strike at Khan Yunis. Dozens of attacks have been reported in various areas, both by air and by artillery.
The Saudi Al Arabiya Channel reported on Monday morning that an Israeli special forces unit entered a specific area in the center of Khan Yunis, eliminated Ahmad Sarhan, a superior terrorist in popular resistance committees and arrested his wife and children. It was also reported that Sarhan’s body had been transferred to a Gaza hospital.
A TSAhal spokesperson said: “The BMI is in the middle of the Gideon of the tanks and operates throughout the Gaza Strip. Despite the reports, there is no change in the overall situation. ”
Meanwhile, after the approval of the firm on Sunday evening to resume humanitarian aid deliveries in Gaza, Israel is preparing to allow a limited number of assistance trucks in Gaza on Monday.
Military sources have said: “It is an effort to show the world that Israel does not act to die of hunger (the population).” Help should enter through an American company and mainly include medical supplies, a baby formula and flour.
