Gaza Starvation: Bibi Finally Blinks.

Netanyahu was feeling the heat and knew that his inaction was turning staunch allies against him, so he blinked. Each of us needs to separate our opinion of his government from our longstanding support for Israel.

This guy had restricted aid entering Gaza to contractors, having curtailed UN relief efforts. As a result, the people's hardship became much worse, with civilians dying due to at least malnutrition. The IDF can claim all it wants that there's no starvation in Gaza, but that's bullshit. There is. The devil is in the details as to whether it constitutes mass starvation, but that's beside the point. It's Israel's responsibility and always has been to ensure that civilians were properly cared for and fed in refugee areas. Netanyahu failed to do that, with some claiming he did so deliberately. They maintain that his fondest wish is to empty Gaza of civilians by forcing them to relocate to neighbouring Arab countries. Israel's neighbours will have none of that, so Bibi had no choice but to allow UN convoys to resume deliveries in Gaza. In addition, the IDF has air-dropped food in Gaza, so that is a tacit admission that starvation was occurring on the ground. Netanyahu is quietly discovering that operations in Gaza are already far from a piece of cake. The longer the IDF stays in Gaza, the more intractable things will become for both civilians and the IDF alike.
