Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called his country's consent "difficult decision" to resume humanitarian aid supplies to the Gaza Strip. According to him, this was done primarily due to the strong pressure of Israeli international partners, who did not want to see scenes of mass hunger in enclave.
On the morning of May 18, the Israeli Defense Army announced the launch of hostilities in the northern and southern regions of Gaza, within the framework of a large-scale land-based land.
In the evening, Netanyahu's office announced that Israel would allow "basic amounts" to enter the Gaza Strip to prevent the threat of hunger in enclave. Inside Israel, this decision was sharply criticized, first of all, by right-wing political parties.
"This is understandable, but before criticization is worth knowing the facts. From the beginning of the war, we have stated that in order to win, the defeat of the radical Palestinian movement for the release of Hamas and all our abductors, and these are two interconnected issues. There is one necessary condition. In that case, we are not just supported and we will not be able to complete the mission of victory, "said Netanyahu. The video of the speech was published in his official Telegram channel.
