Israel's Role in Gaza Aid: Security Without Distribution

Israel will not take part in distributing aid to Gaza but will ensure security, per U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Despite the aid blockade since March, the supply is not linked to a ceasefire.

In a press conference on Friday, U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee declared that Israel would not be involved in distributing aid in Gaza, though it would assume a security role.

Despite the ongoing aid blockade imposed by Israel since March, Ambassador Huckabee clarified that the delivery of aid is not contingent on achieving a ceasefire in the region.

The announcement comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing humanitarian challenges faced by Gaza residents.
