Capitulation to Hamas campaign: 10-hour daily humanitarian truce; aid trucks from Egypt

Following growing international pressure, and the false campaign about "hunger in Gaza": Israel is increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Fast track or regular track: will you decide how to receive your money?

 Starting this morning (Sunday) at 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM - the IDF will implement a daily humanitarian truce in several population centers in Gaza, including in the northern Strip.

The IDF explained that the ceasefire will be implemented "in accordance with the directives of the political echelon and as part of the IDF's ongoing effort through the IDF to increase the scope of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip."

The ceasefire will begin in areas where the IDF is not operating - Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City, and it was reported that the decision was coordinated with the UN and international organizations.

At the same time, permanently secured routes have been designated - from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM - that will allow safe movement of UN convoys and aid organizations, to bring in and distribute food and medicine to the population throughout the Gaza Strip.

Last night, at the direction of the political echelon, the IDF began a series of proactive actions to improve the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip, as part of efforts to prevent the spread of allegations of deliberate starvation.

As part of the humanitarian operation, the IDF resumed airdropping aid to Gaza.

At the same time, according to the Al-Cairo TV network, humanitarian aid trucks began traveling from Egypt towards the Gaza Strip this morning.

"This surrender is serious"

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir attacked last night the decision to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza. "On Saturday night, I was informed by an official in the Prime Minister's Office that during Shabbat, a security consultation was held without me (the official claim: "so that we don't desecrate Shabbat" - when they know very well that as Minister of National Security I am available on Shabbat for any important event and security consultation) in which it was decided to increase the amounts of "humanitarian" aid entering Gaza.

I told the official from the bureau that this is a surrender to Hamas's false campaign, which endangers IDF soldiers, and that this surrender is many times more serious after the prime minister said on Friday that 'we will examine alternative ways to release the kidnapped.' It turns out that the 'alternative way' is to surrender to Hamas and its false campaigns, and increase the humanitarian aid that reaches it directly. This path distances the return of the kidnapped, and especially distances the complete victory in the war."

On the other hand, President Yitzhak Herzog welcomed the move this morning. "I support the series of humanitarian steps that the political echelon and the IDF have announced, including the humanitarian ceasefires. This is a moral, operational, political and informational imperative. In recent days, I have received countless inquiries from leaders, friends of Israel, media figures and Jewish leaders from around the world on this issue. Correct, practical action is the answer to this.

"This is not a concession - this is a necessary part of the war effort, also in the international arena, for the sake of returning our kidnapped brothers and restoring security to the citizens of Israel. This is how we distinguish ourselves from those who rose up to destroy us. Let it be clear - the responsibility for the situation of the residents of the Gaza Strip lies with the terrorist organization Hamas - it is the one who started the brutal massacre and it is the one who refuses proposals for a ceasefire and the release of the kidnapped from the hell of captivity."

"A black morning for the State of Israel"

The Order 9 movement and families of abductees sharply attacked the "humanitarian truce" this morning (Sunday), claiming that it would lead to the killing of fighters and worsen the situation of the State of Israel in the war, following the renunciation of many levers of pressure against the terrorist organization Hamas and the transfer of tens of thousands of aid trucks to it.

Yael Sbrigo, the niece of the kidnapped Lior Rudaif, whose body is being held in Gaza, was furious: "A black morning for the State of Israel. The right-wing ministers said they would remain in the government as long as they did not cross red lines. What lines are redder than this?! Abandoning kidnapped people, free aid, water to the Strip, prioritizing Hamas over kidnapped people, fighters and citizens of the State of Israel, what else needs to happen?"

Reut Ben Haim, chairwoman of Order 9, attacked: "10 hours of a laundry of words called a humanitarian truce. Don't let them work on you; it's 10 hours of the rehabilitation of the terrorist organization Hamas. 10 hours of losing more and more leverage. 10 hours of surrender, weakness, and the loss of war achievements. There is no forgiveness for weakness in the face of terrorism."

The movement stated that "the conscious decision of the Israeli government, which was made in a bizarre abduction last Saturday and began this morning, is a decision to abandon the kidnapped and the IDF fighters who are in the Gaza Strip and who have been fighting there in recent months."
