Israel reportedly halts supply of aid into Gaza as it launches ‘massive wave of attacks’ – Middle East crisis live
Following Israeli airstrikes on Gaza earlier today, more senior ministers have made remarks casting doubt on the government’s commitment to the ceasefire deal
Amichai Chikli, Israel’s diaspora affairs minister and a vocal hardliner, said:
“As long as Hamas exists, there will be war.”
Another cabinet member, Avi Dichter, described the situation as “difficult and complex”, accusing Hamas of violating the truce on the assumption that “Israel will not resume fighting.”
He added: “The moment all the living hostages are in our hands, the conditions have changed. Israel will not give up on disarming Hamas.”
From the opposition, Yair Golan, leader of the centre left Democrats party, also called for action, saying on social media:
“Hamas’s attack in Gazarequires a decisive response. Only in this way are the rules of the game set.”
