Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar tells EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas in a phone call that “Hamas used the humanitarian aid that entered Gaza to feed its war machine,” according to his office.

“If Hamas continues to steal the aid from the people as well as earning money from it – the war will continue forever,” argues Sa’ar in a post on X. “Therefore, Israel must change the way it facilitates the entrance of goods.”

He calls on the international community to assist Israel’s efforts.

Israel’s security cabinet approved this week plans for a major escalation in its operation against Hamas, which will include a new system to distribute aid in Gaza.
