Netanyahu excludes far-right ministers from Gaza aid decision
The Prime Minister's decision on aid deliveries was made without input from key coalition members.
The Prime Minister's decision on Gaza aid was made without his far-right ministers due to timing on Shabbat.
Netanyahu bypasses far-right ministers on Gaza aid increase and fighting pauses
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has initiated daily 'humanitarian pauses' in military action against Hamas and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. This decision was made without the participation of far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, who observe Shabbat and could not join the cabinet meeting on Saturday. Reportedly upset by their exclusion, Ben Gvir described the move as a significant misstep and accused Netanyahu of capitulating to Hamas amid ongoing global outcry over deteriorating conditions in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Israeli government disputes claims of widespread famine, though humanitarian reports indicate severe malnutrition affecting the population.
Key Takeaways
"I am available all Shabbat, 24/7, because I am the national security minister."
Ben Gvir insists he was available despite Shabbat observance.
"This is a big mistake."
Ben Gvir expresses his outrage over his exclusion from the decision-making process.
"This is a capitulation to Hamas’s deceitful campaign."
Ben Gvir's criticism highlights the internal conflict in the Israeli government regarding aid.
"Nearly 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war."
Hamas-run health ministry cites high civilian casualties, raising concerns about humanitarian crises.
Netanyahu's choice to sideline his far-right coalition partners reflects the increasing pressures of both international opinion and severe humanitarian needs in Gaza. As the civilian toll rises and reports of famine emerge, Netanyahu walks a fine line between maintaining political alliance and responding to global calls for aid. The fierce reaction from Ben Gvir illustrates a deep rift within the government, as far-right factions prioritize military resolve over humanitarian considerations. This tension could impact Netanyahu's long-term political stability.
Highlights

- Aid cannot be used as a bargaining chip in this conflict.
- The humanitarian needs in Gaza demand immediate action.
