Critics call Biden\'s aid airdrops 'humanitarian aid theatre' that does little to end Israeli bombardment and starvation.
At least 15 Palestinian children died on Sunday morning of malnutrition and dehydration as Israel blocks aid into Gaza.
Amihai Eliyahu, far-right Heritage Minister who called for “nuking Gaza,” says, “The so-called month of Ramadan must be wiped out, and our fear of this month must also be wiped out.” Israeli forces have consistently denied the entry of medical devices into Gaza vital for running hospital wards and saving patients’ lives.
Critics decried the move as an illustration of U.S. hypocrisy in handing Israel some of the most advanced bombs in the world while dropping aid from the sky at a trickle to the same people who are on the receiving end of those weapons. “They are very expensive, they are dangerous because there is a lot that can go wrong when those things drop and they deliver very small volumes of aid,” he added.
Israeli forces also bombed al-Bureij and al-Nuseirat refugee camps, and the towns of al-Mughraqa and al-Zahra. In Gaza City, Israel bombed the neighborhoods of al-Zaytoun, Tal al-Hawa, and Sheikh Ejleen. Palestinian paramedics recovered the bodies of 29 martyrs in the streets of al-Zaytoun during the past 48 hours.
For Avigdor Liberman, the leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu opposition faction, Netanyahu’s “government has run its course, it’s no longer able to lead nor unite us…it has no right to exist.” A senior Hamas official told AFP that if “Israel agrees to Hamas demands, which include the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza and increasing humanitarian aid, that would pave the way for a agreement within the next 24 to 48 hours.”
