"We did not ignore the American comments, and they will be reflected in the way of fighting in the coming days," reports Yaron Avraham according to a political source.
In light of the American request, Israel decided to keep the humanitarian aid given to the Gaza Strip at the same levels as during the ceasefire.
Beyond that, discussions are currently taking place, also at the request of the Americans, on a significant increase in the scope of aid to the Strip, also in terms of fuels and gas.
The background to these words is the call of the American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, during his last visit, at the end of last week, who urged Israel to take every possible measure to prevent harm to civilians and emphasized the necessity to account for humanitarian and civilian protection needs in southern Gaza before any military operation.
