Netanyahu Resumes Gaza Aid After Allied Pressure: Israel's Strategy

Netanyahu Resumes Gaza Aid After Allied Pressure

Facing international pressure, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the resumption of aid deliveries to Gaza after a weeks-long blockade.

Allied Concerns

Netanyahu cited concerns voiced by Israel's allies about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as the reason for the decision. He emphasized that these allies could not accept the "images of hunger."

Aid Resumption and Offensive

The aid will be "minimal," according to Netanyahu. This decision comes as Israel launches a new offensive in Gaza, aiming to displace Palestinians and secure aid distribution. These are described as measures to push Hamas towards a ceasefire agreement.

Evacuation Order

In a separate development, the Israeli military issued an evacuation order for residents of Khan Younis and nearby towns, declaring the area a dangerous combat zone.
