In a significant development amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, Israel’s Energy Minister, Israel Katz, revealed that the decision to partially restore water supplies to specific areas in southern Gaza was reached following discussions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden. This decision marks a notable shift in Israel’s approach, especially concerning its blockade of the Hamas-ruled territory.
Israel’s policy regarding the Gaza Strip has traditionally been to tighten the blockade as a means of pressure and containment on Hamas. This policy has been a source of international concern due to its impact on the civilian population in Gaza. The restoration of water supplies, even partially, suggests a strategic move aimed at addressing humanitarian concerns within the conflict zone.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed this development and emphasized that Israel had informed him about the reactivation of the water supply in southern Gaza. The resumption of water services is particularly significant because Israel had halted the flow of water to Gaza as part of its siege measures, which have been in place since the outbreak of the recent conflict.
This decision may signal an effort to alleviate some of the humanitarian hardships faced by civilians in the affected region. It reflects ongoing diplomatic efforts to manage the impact of the conflict and address the needs of the civilian population in Gaza, which has suffered the consequences of the ongoing hostilities.
