Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the number of aid trucks entering Gaza be increased to 250 a day, according to the Kan public broadcaster, following the US threat to withhold some arms shipments from Israel if it doesn’t address the humanitarian situation in the enclave.
The broadcaster also reports that ministers are expected to deliberate whether to enlist a private security contractor to distribute humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip when they convene Sunday for the weekly cabinet meeting.
