“If the plague appeared, we would have to stop the war”: this is how Tzachi Hanegbi, head of the Israeli National Security Council, justified the government’s about-face. Since October 7 and the bloody infiltration of Hamas commandos in southern Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, has fiercely opposed any supply of fuel to the Gaza Strip without the release of the 240 hostages held by the Islamists.
Finally, the restricted security cabinet responsible for directing the war agreed on Friday after much hesitation for two tanker trucks to supply 60,000 liters of fuel per day. A modest gesture compared to the needs. This quantity represents only 2 to 4% of pre-war consumption.
