Next to the military strategy, the executive discussed a New mechanism for the distribution of humanitarian aidstopped for over two months. The entry of basic necessities will be allowed, but with rigid control measures to prevent them from ending up in the hands of Hamas. According to the Israeli authorities, the stocks currently present in the Palestinian warehouses are sufficient for about two weeks. A government source also reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to support the hypothesis – already proposed in the past by the former US president Donald Trump – of a voluntary transfer of the population of Gaza, a hypothesis that remains extremely controversial internationally.
The debate is hot. THE’European Union “It expresses concern for the extension of the operations to Gaza, which will cause further victims and suffering for the Palestinian population”, “urges Israel to exercise moderation and clearly reiterates that the negotiation is the only way that can be traveled for the return of the hostages and the cessation of all hostilities”. These are the words of a spokesman for the European Commission during the daily briefing with the press: as regards the field of humanitarian aid, whose Tel Aviv flow has interrupted almost two months ago, Brussels asks for “immediate access and the distribution of humanitarian aid, as well as the restoration of electricity and essential services in Gaza”, and invites Israel to revoke the block on the enclave to allow On a large scale of aid, the spokesman continues, underlining that the Palestinian population “has already suffered too much in recent years and the time has come to put an end to violence and sufferings”.
Also the United Nations They expressed concern. The UN has rejected the new distribution model of humanitarian aid proposed by Israel, which provides for direct delivery by private security companies and international organizations to individual families, each represented by a delegate controlled by the IDF. The population of the northern and central part of the strip should be evacuated towards the area between the Morag and Philadelphia corridors, where the distribution will take place. The Israeli army will not participate directly in the distribution, but will guarantee the safety of convoys. According to the government, this system will allow to prevent aid from being intercepted by Hamas.
