After announcing a temporary pause in the war in Gaza, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the UN has no more excuses now, which had earlier claimed that Israel was not allowing humanitarian aid into the strip.

“There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza,” the premier tells participants at the event, saying Israel has “enabled the amount required by international law to come in,” and has delivered “1.9 million tons of aid since the beginning of the war” in October 2023.
