“We have to help rehabilitate Gaza’ — Gantz
Chief of Staff Benny Gantz says that Israel must help Gaza recover from the recent fighting there.
“Now we must help rehabilitate Gaza,” he says, according to Channel 10. “We are doing everything we can to send them food. There is a combination of military necessity on the one hand, and the broad effort to refrain from harming, and helping as much as possible. We are entering a difficult period of aid and rehabilitation; we will help not out of any strategic considerations, but from humanitarian ones.”
