The Foreign Ministry welcomes the launch of a maritime corridor to transfer humanitarian aid from Cyprus to the Gaza Strip, which faces widespread hunger and shortages of other essential supplies after five months of war.
“Israel will continue to facilitate the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gazans, in accordance with the laws of war and in coordination with the US and our allies around the world,” a statement reads.
The statement adds that Israel will continue to fight the Hamas terror group “until its elimination and the return of all hostages.”
War erupted in Gaza after Hamas’s October 7 massacres, which saw thousands of terrorists burst into Israel, killing some 1,200 people and kidnapping another 253 to Gaza, mostly civilians, many amid horrific acts of brutality and sexual assault.
It is believed that 134 hostages taken on October 7 remain at the hands of terror groups in Gaza.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
