Dropping unnecessary food to shut up the critics: UAE and Jordan airdropped 28 packages of aid in Gaza, says IDF
|
[IsraelTimes] Aircraft from the United Arab Emirates and Jordan airdropped 28 packages of humanitarian aid in the northern and southern Gaza Strip today, the Israeli military says.
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, and Jordan.”
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.
IDF spokesman: Israel ‘cares about the nutrition of Gazans more than Hamas does’
[IsraelTimes] IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie reiterates that the military is not subjugating the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip to starvation, saying that Israel cares more about Gazan civilians than Hamas does.
“We are continuing to lead a process of bringing humanitarian aid, while continuing the fighting. Israel is the one that initiated the [Gaza Humanitarian Foundation] aid distribution sites… This is to prevent famine in Gaza,” Defrin says in a press conference.
“We are securing four [GHF] sites, allowing convoys and carrying out airdrops. Additionally, we designated humanitarian corridors that will allow safe travel for convoys of the UN and internal organizations. This is in addition to pauses in the fighting, to allow the civilians to collect the aid,” he says.
Defrin asserts that Hamas is stealing aid from the Gazan civilians, hiding it in tunnels, and at the same time carrying out a “false campaign on starvation in the Gaza Strip.”
“The photos emerging from Gaza are difficult, and they are part of this false campaign,” he claims.
“I want to be clear, there is no starvation in the Gaza Strip. We are operating according to international law, monitoring the situation every day, and acting accordingly,” Defrin says.
“We care about the nutrition of the residents of Gaza more than Hamas does. Hamas works intentionally to worsen the condition of the population. Hamas tries with all its might to sabotage the [GHF] aid distribution sites and the arrival of the aid to the Strip,” he adds.
Arab-Israeli communal leaders launch 3-day hunger strike against Gaza starvation, reject new aid policy as PR stunt
[IsraelTimes] Arab lawmakers and community leaders hold a press conference in Jaffa marking the end of the first day of a three-day hunger strike over the starvation in Gaza.
The strike is part of a burgeoning anti-war campaign in the Arab community that included a 10,000-strong demonstration in Sakhnin on Friday. The community leaders are also planning a demonstration outside the US Embassy Branch Office in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
Responding to a question from The Times of Israel, Mohammad Barakeh, head of the High Follow-up Committee, an umbrella organization representing Palestinian citizens of Israel, says the strike was decided upon weeks ago, and indicates that the organizers were unimpressed by Israel’s announcement last night that it would increase the flow of aid into Gaza.
According to Barakeh, the aid entering Gaza under the new Israeli measures is not nearly enough to feed the Strip’s population.
“This is not an operation to save lives,” he says. “This is is a public relations operation that follows international pressure and the horrifying pictures that are circulating in the world.” He also says the Follow-up Committee has for months had plans in place to send and distribute aid, and accuses Israeli authorities of refusing the scheme.
Among the participants in the press conference are lawmakers Mansour Abbas, Ahmed Tibi and Aida Touma-Saliman — respectively of the three Arab parties currently represented in the Knesset, Ra’am, Ta’al and Hadash — as well as Sami Abu Shehadeh and Sakhnin Mayor Mazen Ghanayim, leading members of the Balad party. Also in attendance is Amos Goldberg, a Hebrew University Holocaust scholar who has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. With the exception of Goldberg, who speaks only in Hebrew, and Ghanayim, who speaks only in Arabic, the speakers deliver their statements in both languages.
Speakers call for an end to the war and immediate release of the hostages. They also accuse Israeli media and Zionist political parties of whitewashing the situation in Gaza, and praise French President Emmanuel Macron for his decision to recognize Palestinian statehood in September.
“I’m waiting for Britain to do the same, because Britain’s historic and moral debt is greater than France’s,” says Tibi. He also gives special thanks to Jewish Israelis who attended the Sakhnin demonstration.
Footage shows scramble for humanitarian aid airdropped in Gaza yesterday
[IsraelTimes] A video circulated by media outlets in Gaza shows dozens of Gazans scrambling for humanitarian aid that was airdropped in the Gaza Strip last night. In the footage — whose exact location in the Strip is unclear — Gazans can be seen also celebrating the arrival of the aid.
