Aid Suspended Amid Accusations and Denials in Gaza

Israel has temporarily halted humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza following claims that Hamas was seizing supplies meant for civilians. The decision, announced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, came after footage surfaced showing masked men on aid trucks—interpreted by some as evidence of Hamas interference.
