The UN said earlier that it had not been able to distribute aid to Gaza.
A Doctors Without Borders official told Channel 4 News on Wednesday that Israel’s blockade of Gaza was a war crime.
The UN says it has not been able to distribute aid despite Israel agreeing to let a trickle of aid trucks enter.
The UN said on Wednesday that it has not been able to distribute aid.
The remarks are the first time Netanyahu has publicly linked ending Israel’s war on Gaza to the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson for UN chief Antonio Guterres, confirmed that the UN had received “about 90 truckloads of goods” and sent them to Gaza.
“At this time, we have no additional information to share,” Dujarric stated.
The United Nations had previously stated that it had failed to provide aid to Gaza.
The private US-backed foundation, which was established to provide aid in war-torn Gaza, stated on Wednesday that it will begin distributing supplies in the “coming days” and that its goal is to supplement the UN system rather than replace it.
In a recent interview with the Financial Times, the United Nations stated that it would not participate in the operation carried out by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has been widely criticized by aid workers and even board members of the Foundation.
According to a statement from the Geneva-based foundation, which has been there since February, it “will be operational in the coming days and will deliver aid to the people of Gaza without delay, diversion, or discrimination.”. “,”.
Palestinian activist and detained US green card holder Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Noor Abdalla, has blasted the US for denying him access to his family, including his newborn son.
“This system that dares to call itself just is cruel and inhuman,” Abdalla said in a statement on Wednesday, denouncing the US immigration department for keeping Khalil from meeting their son.
This goes beyond being callous. Abdalla claimed that the government’s calculated cruelty and willful violence are what split families apart without regret.
A student at Columbia University named Khalil was arrested because of his support for Palestine.
The blockade of Gaza by Israel is a war crime, according to a Doctors Without Borders official who spoke to Channel 4 News on Wednesday.
In an interview from central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah, Clare Manera, Emergency Coordinator for Doctors Without Borders, criticized Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
The enclave has been completely blockaded by Israel since early March. Even though Israel agreed to allow a small number of aid trucks to enter, the UN claims it has not been able to distribute aid.
UN chief Antonio Guterres was “alarmed” on Wednesday by reports that the Israeli army had opened fire on a diplomatic delegation visiting Jenin in the occupied West Bank, according to UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.
Dujarric stated, “It is obvious that diplomats who are carrying out their duties should never be shot at or attacked in any way, shape, or form.”.
He also stated that mass starvation could not be prevented by the meager amount of aid that was getting into the enclave.
“The small amount of supplies that are finally being permitted to enter Kerem Shalom is insufficient to address the enormous and wide-ranging needs in Gaza. “A lot, a lot more aid must enter,” he stated.
The United Nations announced on Wednesday that it has been unable to provide aid.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, announced on Wednesday that Israel would establish a “sterile zone” for pre-screened Palestinians in southern Gaza.
“The people of Gaza will receive full humanitarian aid in this area, which will be completely free of Hamas,” he continued.
It’s unclear how long the Palestinians will remain in the area because Netanyahu stated that the forcible evacuation of Gaza is a requirement for ending the war, which is in line with a plan that US President Donald Trump proposed earlier this year.
By the end of its crippling offensive on the enclave, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Wednesday that Israel would control the entire Gaza Strip.
During a press conference in Jerusalem, Netanyahu declared that “all of the Gaza Strip will be under the Israeli army’s control” by the end of the current offensive. He continued by saying that Israel was only permitting a small amount of aid to enter Gaza in order to appease its US allies.
He stated that “in order to maintain our freedom of operational action, we must prevent a humanitarian crisis.”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Wednesday that Israel cannot end the war until US President Donald Trump’s earlier-this-year plan to forcibly relocate Palestinians from Gaza is carried out.
For the first time, Netanyahu has openly connected the cessation of Israel’s war on Gaza with the expulsion of Palestinians from the territory.
Netanyahu stated that Israel “is ready to end the war, under clear conditions that will ensure Israel’s safety – all the hostages return home, Hamas disarms, resigns, its leadership is exiled from the Strip, Gaza is completely disarmed, and we implement the Trump plan.”. A truly revolutionary and accurate plan. “.”.
In a harsh critique of Israel, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert claimed that Israel was committing war crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
As reported by Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan, Olmert stated, “A pointless political war will not return a single hostage and will also involve the loss of the lives of brave soldiers.”.
In Gaza and the occupied West Bank, he claimed, Israeli forces are committing “war crimes.”.
“Israelis are committing war crimes in Judea and Samaria on a daily basis,” he said.
With the enclave at risk of mass starvation, the UN has yet to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.
According to Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for UN chief Antonio Guterres, no humanitarian aid has been able to pass through the southern Israeli border of Kerem Shalom.
At a briefing, Dujarric stated, “None of the supplies have been able to leave the Kerem Shalom loading area.”.
This is due to the fact that, by yesterday evening, the Israeli authorities had only permitted our teams to enter one area, which was extremely crowded, unsafe, and where, given the protracted deprivation in Gaza, we believed looting was very likely to occur,” he continued.
Israel has imposed a complete blockade on Gaza since March 2nd, preventing the entry of any goods, food, or medical supplies into the besieged territory.
Israel announced on Sunday that it would permit a “basic amount of food” to enter Gaza for “diplomatic reasons” in an effort to reduce international pressure that might compel an end to the war.
