Sa’ar to UK counterpart: Half of Hamas budget comes from aid trucks
2025-03-06
Good to know.
[IsraelTimes] Foreign Minister Sa’ar speaks with his British counterpart about the impasse in Israel’s ceasefire with Hamas and the reasoning behind Israel’s recent decision to block trucks carrying humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

Sa’ar writes on X that he told UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy during their call that “during the 42-day phase one, 25,000 aid trucks entered Gaza – half of Hamas’s budget in Gaza comes from these trucks! Hamas is restoring its military capabilities and recruiting new, young terrorists. This cannot continue!”

Sa’ar says he stressed to Lammy that Hamas rejected a proposal from US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to extend the temporary ceasefire through Ramadan and Passover on condition that Hamas release more hostages.
