In a statement released during President Biden’s speech in Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that despite American requests, Israel would not permit the transfer of any humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip from its own territory. He added, however, that Israel “will not thwart humanitarian supplies arriving from Egypt as long as it is only food, water and medicine for the civilian population located in the southern Gaza Strip or those moving there, and as long as these supplies do not reach Hamas.”
