Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved the immediate resumption of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. This decision was made following a meeting of the Israeli Security Cabinet, which recommended the resumption of aid to facilitate the intensification of operations against Hamas. The Prime Minister stated that Israel will allow the importation of basic food supplies to prevent a famine in the Gaza Strip, which could jeopardize the ongoing operation against Hamas. Israel will also take measures to ensure that Hamas does not take control of the distribution of aid and prevent it from reaching Hamas terrorists. The decision comes in response to increasing international pressure to end the blockade of aid to Gaza and prevent the worsening humanitarian crisis. The resumption of aid will be facilitated by several international organizations, including the United Nations World Food Programme and World Central Kitchen, until a new system supported by the United States and Israel is put into operation.
