'Israeli' Foreign Minister defends Gaza aid policy
'Israeli' Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar claimed that growing international pressure on Tel Aviv, particularly threats of sanctions by some European countries, would only complicate the political and security landscape. Sa'ar argued that such tactics "will not serve stability," describing punitive measures as "unconstructive." He also defended Israeli Occupation's new system for distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza, saying it was designed to prevent Hamas from benefiting, despite mounting global criticism of the occupation's role in managing the humanitarian crisis. Earlier, Amnesty International urged the global community to reject Israeli Occupatuon's aid distribution plan, accusing Tel Aviv of using it as a tool for control and punishment in Gaza. Amnesty called for immediate international action to stop what it described as a genocide against Palestinians. The organization emphasized that the international community has allowed the humanitarian catastrophe and genocide in Gaza to continue for too long. It stated that the use of starvation as a weapon is a war crime that must end immediately. Amnesty added that, as an occupying power, Israeli Occupation is obligated under international law to ensure the supply of essential goods to the civilian population. It described the shooting of starving Palestinians near an aid distribution point in Rafah as a 'horrific incident' that requires an immediate and independent investigation.
