Israel has said it will keep blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, as it vowed to force Hamas into releasing the remaining hostages from the 7 October attacks.

The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, said: “Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers preventing Hamas from using it as a tool with the population.”

Isn't that like against the Geneva Convention?

I think it's safe to call it a Geneva Suggestion at this point.

I think it is against the Ten Commandements as well.

Odds are higher that divine retribution strikes Israel than Geneva Convention signatures besides Yemen upholding their responsibility.

Literally Auschwitz. The pictures are the same.

It also shows, they want the hostages dead. No way the hostages survive if Hamas starves to death.

They mispelled "warcrime"

“Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers preventing Hamas from using it as a tool with the population.”

“It” is Gaza itself? Hamas shouldn’t “use” Gaza as a tool “with the population?”

No, "it" is the humanitarian aid that is being blocked.

Wouldn't want humanitarian aid to be used as a tool. That would be terrible.

Oh I see, thanks! The sentence structure was confusing me
