The high representative of EU Foreign Policy, Kaja Kallas, has affected Tuesday before Israel Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, the “unsustainable” humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and has warned that you cannot “politicize” the entry of basic supplies.
“Humanitarian aid must be resumed immediately and can never be politicized,” said Kallas, who has also stressed that it corresponds to organizations to manage any future mechanism, given the possibility that it is Israel who ends up handling the shipments.
Saar, however, has defended that it is Hamas who has traditionally served the humanitarian aid that comes to Gaza to “feed her war machine”, an argument under which the Benjamin Netanyahu government has maintained the accesses for more than two months.
“If Hamas continues to steal the help to the paxation and earn money with her, the war will continue forever,” Saar has warned, in whose opinion “Israel must change the way in which it facilitates the entry of products.” In this sense, he has called the international community to “help” and “not prevent” Israeli work.
The United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Coordination Office (Ocha) has also rejected Israel’s plan to distribute humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip for considering that “it does not meet the fundamental humanitarian principles of impartiality, neutrality and independence.”
