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.
