Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich vowed on Monday that he will continue the total blockade of aid entering the Gaza Strip.
“Not even a grain of wheat will enter Gaza,” he said, speaking at Israeli outlet Yedioth Ahronoth’s People of Israel Conference.
On 2 March, weeks before breaking the ceasefire in Gaza, Israel shut down all the Palestinian enclave’s border crossings, halting the flow of much-needed humanitarian aid and further exacerbating the territory’s crises.
One of the ceasefire’s main goals was to allow for the return of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Since resuming its full-scale attacks on 18 March, Israel has killed over 1,400 Palestinians and wounded over 3,600, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
