Netanyahu welcomes countries joining aid drops to Gaza, blames Hamas for lack of food
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on more nations to airdrop aid into Gaza after claiming Hamas “stole food from its own people”.
In a post on X, the prime minister’s office said it “secured the skies, secured the drops, and made sure the food got through”.
“Any country that truly wants to help is welcome to join us,” it added.
Aid agencies and countries involved in the drops, including France and Belgium, have called on Israel to open land crossings into Gaza to fully flood the enclave with desperately needed food.
According to the UN, to feed Gaza’s population, at least 500 to 600 trucks must enter the enclave daily.
Of course Netanyahu welcomes air drops as they add nothing but chaos to a desperate situation while the limited aid from air drops is destined to fall in Israeli death zones in Gaza.
More than 80 Palestinians killed in Gaza since dawn
Hospital sources tell Al Jazeera at least 86 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since the early hours throughout Gaza, despite the army claiming to be following “tactical pauses”.
Of the dead on Wednesday, at least 71 were people desperately searching for food.
Israeli forces have routinely opened fire on aid seekers since the US-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation took over food distribution from UN-led agencies in May.
