The Israeli Government confirmed this Wednesday that Israel will allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza from Egypt, although it has warned that if the supply ends up in the hands of Hamas, it will annul the permit.
“Israel will not hinder supplies from Egypt as long as they are only food, water and medicine for the civilian population located in the southern Gaza Strip,” the Israeli government said in a statement, adding that there will be consequences if supplies They arrive at Hamas.
However, the statement indicates that "it will not allow humanitarian aid from its territory to the Gaza Strip" until the two hundred kidnapped hostages are released.
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, assured this Wednesday that Israel has accepted the entry of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, something that until now the Israeli Government was opposed to, in retaliation for the Hamas terrorist attacks on September 7. October. “Israel has agreed that humanitarian assistance can begin moving from Egypt to Gaza,” Biden told reporters.
Shortly before, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, had confirmed from Tel Aviv, after meeting with Netanyahu, that Israel will authorize the entry of humanitarian aid.
“We are working in close cooperation with the Government of Egypt, the United Nations and its agencies, such as the World Food Program and other partners in the region, to get the trucks across the border as soon as possible,” Biden said.
Likewise, the Biden Administration has announced that it will provide $100 million for the Palestinian people, especially to support the more than one million people displaced by the conflict.
“Civilians are not to blame and should not suffer for the horrific terrorism committed by Hamas. Civilian lives must be protected, and assistance must urgently reach those who need it,” the US Administration said in a statement.
Additionally, Biden said the Pentagon had shown him evidence suggesting that the Israeli military is not responsible for the massacre caused by an explosion at a Gaza City hospital on Tuesday night, which killed hundreds of civilians and sparked an outbreak of protests in the Middle East and other countries around the world.
“From what I've seen, it looks like the other team did it,” Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Beniamin Netanyahu after landing in Tel Aviv. The attack will complicate US efforts to contain the conflict. Israel and Hamas hold each other responsible for the attack on the hospital.
Biden spoke to reporters after meeting with rescue services and survivors of the terrorist attack carried out by Hamas against towns bordering the Gaza Strip.
At the same time, the United States has sanctioned several people related to the financing of Hamas - considered a terrorist organization by Washington - as well as two senior members of the fundamentalist group, in a measure designed to limit its ability to raise funds.
Six of those sanctioned are accused of managing investments worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with companies in Turkey, Algeria, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates and other countries. The network uses legal companies as a cover to disguise its activities and generates income that is used to finance senior Hamas officials, allowing them to live in luxury, the US Treasury Department said in a statement on Wednesday.
