Netanyahu rejects a plan to secure aid to Gaza by armed men
The Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom revealed, on Friday, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a plan presented by the security establishment to secure humanitarian aid convoys entering the Gaza Strip, by armed elements not related to Hamas, in order to prevent the looting and theft of those convoys.
According to the Hebrew newspaper, senior officials in the security establishment believe that as long as aid convoys enter without being secured by armed elements, the plundering of aid will not stop, whether it enters in trucks by land or sea.
According to the plan that was presented, those elements that the security establishment wants to communicate with are not Hamas supporters, and they are also supposed to be part of the “day after” solution to the war in the Gaza Strip, and securing humanitarian routes to supply the Strip with aid.
The Israeli security establishment believes that whoever will control the distribution of aid will control the Gaza Strip, but the issue of the identity of these militants remains unresolved, as they cannot, of course, be members of Hamas, while Netanyahu also refuses that they be members of the Palestinian Authority and the Fatah movement.
The newspaper indicated that discussions took place about this in the Israeli security establishment, which included securing supply convoys, as well as identifying the humanitarian areas that would be established. The plan was presented at the political level, along with a plan to evacuate civilians from Rafah if a military operation was carried out there.
Netanyahu opposes any discussion on this issue, and refuses to implement any plan within the framework of the day after the war, as long as the Israeli army is still operating inside the Strip.
