Israel will not be involved in Gaza aid distribution but will take part in providing security, U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said in a press conference on Friday.

Israel has been imposing an aid blockade on the enclave since March. Huckabee said the supply of aid was not dependent on reaching a ceasefire.

Hard to create your own genocide without following along with your closest genocide buddy.

So it is neither for a lack of ability nor the war crime of abusing it as pressure. It is just done as a war crime to destroy the civilian population for the sake of it.
