Israel facing widespread condemnation for aid blockade and PM's plans to 'take control of Gaza'

  • On Monday, Israel intensified attacks across Gaza and announced it would take control of the entire territory amid a severe aid blockade.
  • The blockade was imposed following a deadly assault by Hamas in October 2023 on southern Israel, which resulted in 1,218 fatalities and the capture of 251 hostages, with 57 still detained in Gaza.
  • Israeli far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich opposed aid resumption, while civilians faced intense fighting and worsening humanitarian shortages.
  • UN agencies report Gaza’s two million people face starvation, with only nine aid trucks cleared to enter, which the UN called ‘‘a drop in the ocean of what is urgently needed.’’
  • International criticism mounts as Israel’s partial aid resumption meets condemnation, and Netanyahu signals openness to a deal including ending fighting and hostage release.
