Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEnergy Minister Yuval Steinitz has proposed airdropping humanitarian aid to Gazans on Friday, in an effort to dissuade residents from attending a massive protest along the border fence with Israel, Hadashot news reported.
During yesterday’s cabinet meeting, Steinitz suggested that delivering food and medicine throughout the Strip would draw Palestinians away from the protests “Land Day” protests, expected to take place along the Gaza Strip’s security fence on Friday.
Protests planned for the coming weeks will be held under the banner “March of Return” — a reference to the demand that Israel allow millions of Palestinians refugees, and their descendants to return to their former homes inside the Jewish state.
