Israel’s police minister rejects more aid for Gaza Strip
The US has warned Israel not to restrict military aid due to the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s right-wing extremist minister Ben-Gvir is unscrupulous.
Despite the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, Israel’s right-wing police minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has spoken out against more aid deliveries to the civilian population. “As long as we have hostages in the Gaza Strip, we cannot make any concessions to the Gaza Strip, not even to the civilian population,” he told the Aruz Sheva news portal.
He was the only one in the cabinet to vote against an expansion of aid demanded by the USA. The UN and aid organizations are warning of an acute famine in the contested area.
In October, the US government gave Israel a 30-day deadline to provide better care for the civilian population in the Gaza Strip and threatened to block US military aid. At the deadline earlier this week, the US acknowledged that Israel had taken some steps to provide more aid, but more was needed.
