Recent reports confirm that Itamar Ben Gvir, leader of the far-right Jewish Power party and Israel's National Security Minister, has expressed strong opposition to increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza. He was reportedly excluded from a cabinet call where Netanyahu and other ministers decided to increase aid flow.palestinechronicle.compalestinechronicle.com'No Hunger in Gaza' - Israeli Security Minister Denies Palestinians are Starving
