Israel cabinet meeting erupts into heated debate over Gaza aid distribution: Report
According to Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan, sharp words were exchanged between far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Defence Minister Israel Katz, military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
At the meeting, Katz had proposed that the distribution of aid in Gaza would be carried out by either the Israeli army or by American soldiers, adding that previous methods of distribution only strengthened Hamas.
The military’s Zamir, however, objected, saying the soldiers “will not distribute humanitarian aid, and we will not starve the Gaza Strip”, to which Smotrich reportedly replied that the military “doesn’t choose its own missions”.
“If you’re saying you’re incapable of appointing someone, then you can be replaced,” Smotrich was quoted as saying.
At one point during the cabinet meeting, Smotrich also walked out while Shin Bet’s Bar was speaking. Bar is currently entangled in a political feud with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had ordered his dismissal. The order, however, was temporarily halted by the court.
Smotrich had refused to attend an earlier cabinet meeting, saying that he would not be involved in a discussion with Bar present, saying the latter had been fired from the government.
Of course Zamir doesn't want their soldiers to distribute aid. He doesn't want his soldiers to see Palestinians as human.
Getting up close to 2 million people suffering from starvation, half of them children, many disfigured from 15 months of relentless bombing, will only strengthen the opposition to further military actions. Keep them operating drones and fire shells / bombs from a distance instead of seeing the aftermath.
Lapid says Israeli government incapable of ‘winning’ war in Gaza
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has issued a sharp condemnation of the Netanyahu-led government’s handling of the ongoing war.
“It’s time to recognize the facts: this government is incapable of winning the war,” Lapid said in a post on X. “They had a year and a half, received full support from the Americans, full support from the opposition, and the excuses are over.”
