Ben Gvir decries renewal of aid to Gaza as ‘historic mistake’
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says he will do everything in his power to stop the “historic mistake” of allowing aid into Gaza, shortly after Defense Minister Israel Katz announced Israel intends to renew the flow of assistance through civilian companies.
“It’s a shame we don’t learn from our mistakes. As long as our hostages are dying in the tunnels, there is no reason for a gram of food or aid to enter Gaza,” Ben Gvir writes on X.
Ben Gvir calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Katz not to go through with the move, which would “harm our ability to defeat Hamas and return our hostages safely.”
