Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has doubled down on his genocidal stance against Gaza, insisting that no humanitarian supplies should be allowed into the besieged enclave, Middle East Eye reports, citing Israeli news outlet Channel 14.
The far-right minister was quoted as saying, “We cannot bring aid to our enemy (in the Gaza Strip), not water, electricity, fuel, or food.”
Smotrich’s comments underline Israel’s ongoing policy of collective punishment, as Gaza’s 2.3 million residents face a worsening humanitarian catastrophe marked by famine, disease, and relentless bombardment.
