[IsraelTimes] In the largest airdrop operation since efforts to increase the supply of aid to Gaza began, 126 packages of humanitarian supplies were dropped in the Strip by aircraft from six countries, the Israeli military says.
Aircraft from Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and — for the first time in over a year — Spain, Germany, and France airdropped food in both northern and southern Gaza.
The IDF says the airdrops were carried out “in accordance with the directives from the political echelon and as part of the cooperation between Israel, the UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Spain, France, and Germany.”
The airdrops are part of a “series of actions aimed at improving the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip,” the military says.
“The IDF will continue to work in order to improve the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip, along with the international community, while refuting the false claims of deliberate starvation in Gaza,” it adds.
Trump says Netanyahu ‘competent,’ proper management of Gaza aid will prevent Hamas theft
[IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump tells NBC he hopes Israel will manage aid in a way that would prevent Hamas from stealing aid intended for hungry Gaza civilians.
Trump calls Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a competent person,” while stressing: “We want to make sure people get fed.”
Trump says “good management” will prevent the theft of aid.
“Hopefully, the Israelis will provide that,” he says.
