Al Mayadeen – Nov 18, 2023

Deputy speaker of the Knesset and member of the legislature’s foreign affairs and security committee, Nissim Vaturi, explicitly called for completely burning down Gaza and underlined that “Israel” must refrain from allowing aid into the Strip until all captives are released.

Vaturi said he believes that “Israel” has been “too humane” after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet gave in to international pressure to allow the entry of two trucks of fuel daily into Gaza.

After over a month of a total Israeli ban on the entry of fuel into Gaza, subsequently causing a collapse in the health sector among other survival requirements for 2.2 million Palestinians, the Israeli occupation allowed the entry of fuel into Gaza three days ago but prohibited its delivery to hospitals.

The first truck carrying the energy commodity entered the Strip on Wednesday coming from Egypt, UN officials confirmed.

“All of this preoccupation with whether or not there is internet in Gaza shows that we have learned nothing. We are too humane. Burn Gaza now, nothing less!” Vaturi wrote in a post on X.

“Don’t allow fuel in, don’t allow water in until the hostages are returned back!” he added.
