Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that he would continue the complete blockade on aid entering the Gaza Strip. Smotrich expressed that not a single grain of wheat would be allowed to enter Gaza.
After the ceasefire that came into effect on January 19 in the Gaza Strip, Israel, which broke the ceasefire with attacks on March 18, continues its policy of condemning the people of Gaza to starvation.
ISRAELI MINISTER ANNOUNCED THAT AID WILL BE BLOCKED
Following a report by the Israeli broadcaster Yedioth Ahronoth about the Israeli government's assessments regarding aid entering the Gaza Strip, a scandalous statement came from Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
"NOT A SINGLE GRAIN OF WHEAT WILL ENTER GAZA"
Far-right Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that he would maintain a complete blockade on aid entering the Gaza Strip. Speaking at the Israeli People's Conference, Smotrich said, "Not a single grain of wheat will enter Gaza."
CLOSED ALL BORDER GATES BEFORE BREAKING THE CEASEFIRE
Weeks before breaking the ceasefire in Gaza, Israel closed all border gates of Palestinian territories on March 2, halting the flow of much-needed humanitarian aid.
ICC HAD ALSO CONSIDERED USING STARVATION AS A WEAPON A CRIME
One of the main crimes that led the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in November was the starvation of the people of Gaza through a complete blockade.
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS DEEPENS
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, since Israel resumed its full-scale attacks on March 18, more than 1,400 Palestinians, including infants, children, women, and the elderly, have been martyred, and over 3,600 others have been injured.
Since the attacks on Gaza began in October 2023, more than 50,700 Palestinian civilians have been killed.
