Israel Cuts Gaza’s Electricity Supply Amid Ceasefire Dispute
Israel has cut off its electricity supply to Gaza, impacting desalination plants and potentially water and sanitation services, a move Hamas condemns as a “starvation policy.” This action follows the cessation of all goods to Gaza, intended to pressure Hamas to release more hostages in exchange for ceasefire negotiations. Despite ongoing mediation efforts, including US involvement, Hamas and Israel remain at an impasse regarding the terms of a lasting truce and the fate of the remaining hostages.
