Israel justifies cutting off Gaza aid as Phase One concludes: 25,000 food trucks delivered
Israel accused Hamas of misusing humanitarian aid for their own interests, leading to the decision to cut off further aid.
The spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu highlighted that Israel had already allowed in a significant amount of food trucks during the six-week cease-fire period, which ended on March 1.
Hamas rejected a proposal to extend the cease-fire terms, leading to the breakdown of cease-fire talks.
Netanyahu stated that Hamas held hostages and had misused supplies sent for humanitarian purposes, diverting materials meant for homes to build terror tunnels.
Israel emphasized that it would not tolerate the misuse of aid for terrorist activities and would not supply more aid until certain conditions were met.
As tensions continue to rise, the possibility of Israel taking military action against Hamas remains on the table.
Ultimately, Israel will have to decide on the next steps in dealing with the situation in Gaza.
