Israel has agreed to ease the blockade on Gaza and provide ‘limited’ food supplies. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced this on Sunday (May 18).<\/p>\n
Tel Aviv made the announcement after the Israeli army announced the launch of a ‘broad ground operation’ in the northern and southern parts of the valley.<\/p>\n
Israel imposed the blockade last March. Then the risk of famine in Gaza increased. Israel has intensified its operation in Gaza amid this risk.<\/p>\n
Where Palestinian health officials said, ‘Hundreds of people have been killed in attacks in the past week. Of which 130 were reported killed in attacks overnight on Monday alone.’<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s office said that Israel agreed to ease the blockade and provide limited aid following a recommendation from the IDF (Israel Defense Forces).<\/p>\n
It will also allow a “basic amount” of food to be delivered to the Palestinians to prevent a hunger crisis due to the practical need to expand the war to defeat Hamas.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a new round of indirect talks between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas in Qatar on a ceasefire were reported to have made no progress.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu said, “The talks included a ceasefire and a hostage agreement, as well as an offer to end the war in exchange for Hamas’s expulsion and demilitarization of the Valley – conditions Hamas has previously rejected.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
