💨 Abstract

Israel's Defense Minister Katz reiterated the country's policy of preventing humanitarian aid to Gaza as long as Hamas holds Israelis captive. He emphasized that preventing aid is a pressure tool to discourage Hamas from using it against the population. Katz also stated that no aid is currently being prepared for Gaza and in the future, a mechanism for using civil society should be built to prevent Hamas access.
