As Arab partners conduct airdrops of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the Prime Minister’s Office urges more countries to join the effort.

“Hamas stole food from its own people,” writes the PMO on X. “Israel acted. We airdropped aid to Gazan civilians, and we called on other nations to join us. Some have already done so.”

“We secured the skies, secured the drops, and made sure the food got through,” the PMO continues. “Any country that truly wants to help is welcome to join us.”

On Sunday, Israel announced new humanitarian aid measures in Gaza after mounting criticism, including from close allies.

Earlier, the IDF said that the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Egypt airdropped 32 aid packages today.
