JERUSALEM, Nov 17 — Israel’s war cabinet has approved letting in two fuel trucks a day into Gaza to help meet UN needs, an Israeli official said today.
The official, who declined to be identified, said the decision came after a request from Washington.
Allowing in the fuel, the official said, gives Israel extra room to manoeuvre in the international arena so it can continue its campaign to eradicate Hamas in Gaza.
The amount of fuel will give “minimal” support for water, sewage and sanitary systems in Gaza to prevent pandemics, the official said. — Reuters
