The Tzav Tesha protest movement, which has blocked or tried to block aid convoys of trucks entering into the Gaza Strip "until the last of the hostages is freed" is announcing a new effort to block the Kerem Shalom crossing during a visit by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken tomorrow (Thursday).

According to the announcement on their official Facebook page, protestors are to gather at a nearby road junction and then block the convoys, sending Blinken - set to visit the area around noon Israeli time, that "the Israeli people disagree with supplying our enemy."

Since late January, the Tzav Tesha movement, comprised of families of hostages, survivors of October 7, and others, has tried to bar the way of convoys of aid trucks into the Gaza Strip, with mixed success.

Many in Israeli political circles have opposed the convoys altogether or at least their size.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has insisted that aid is a precondition of ensuring the fighting can continue, as otherwise a "humanitarian crisis" will erupt.

He did, however, say in a press conference today (Wednesday) that he instructed the defense establishment to find ways to keep aid out of Hamas hands as much as possible, and that they would be submitting their recommendations within the next few days.
