Netanyahu Authorizes Gaza Aid Without Far-Right Approval | JQJO

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to implement daily humanitarian pauses and increase aid to Gaza during the ongoing conflict was made without consulting his far-right coalition partners, Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, who observe Shabbat. The decision, made via conference call, included increased aid delivery, including airdrops. Ben Gvir, vehemently opposed, expressed anger at the exclusion and termed the decision a 'capitulation to Hamas'. The move follows increasing international concern over famine-like conditions in Gaza, although Israel disputes the extent of the crisis.
