(Worthy News) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the immediate resumption of limited humanitarian aid into Gaza on Sunday evening, defying much of his right-wing base and bypassing a cabinet vote amid escalating U.S. pressure to ease the blockade.
The Prime Minister’s Office confirmed the decision, stating that the aid resumption was made “at the recommendation of the IDF and due to the operational need to enable the expansion of intense fighting to defeat Hamas.”
“Israel will allow the entry of a basic quantity of food for the population in order to prevent the development of a hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip,” the statement read. “Such a crisis would endanger the continued operation to defeat Hamas.”
The PMO added: “Israel will act to deny Hamas the ability to seize control of the distribution of humanitarian aid in order to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas terrorists.”
Despite the security justification, the decision drew sharp criticism from key government figures. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir blasted the move as “a grave mistake… We must crush Hamas and not simultaneously give it oxygen.”
