NEW YORK – An official in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s entourage traveling to New York says a focus of the war in Gaza is the attempt to harm Hamas’s civil rule of the Strip by taking away its control over the distribution of humanitarian aid.
Netanyahu instructed the IDF to present proposals, but because of the escalation in the north, it was delayed, the official says.
The presentation is likely to occur in the next 1-2 weeks, according to the source.
