Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the UN of spreading false claims about Israel blocking Gaza aid, affirming secure routes exist while vowing to eliminate Hamas. Speaking at Ramon Air Force Base, he emphasized ongoing military and diploma Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fiercely rejected international criticism of Israel’s humanitarian aid policies in Gaza during a visit to Ramon Air Force Base alongside Defense Minister Israel Katz and Air Force Commander Major General Tomer Bar.
Addressing the ongoing Gaza conflict, Netanyahu declared, “The UN is fabricating excuses and lies about the State of Israel. They say: ‘Humanitarian aid is not being allowed in.’ It is allowed. There are secure routes. There have always been, but today it is official. There will be no more excuses.” He emphasized Israel’s commitment to allowing minimal aid to support both military operations and hostage release negotiations, stating, “In order to achieve this goal, and also to bring about the release of our hostages, we are advancing both in the fighting and in negotiations.”
Netanyahu mourned the toll of Operation Rising Lion, launched in June 2025 to target Hamas and Iranian proxies, saying, “We are fighting in the Gaza Strip. Unfortunately, we have wounded soldiers, and we also have fallen soldiers. I send my condolences to the families and wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded.” He vowed, “Let it be clear, we will achieve our goal. We will eliminate Hamas,” and concluded, “We will continue to fight, we will continue to act until we achieve all our war objectives, until total victory.” (Read More)
