Israel’s far-right security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has slammed the Israeli military’s plan to pause fighting for scheduled hours along a road in southern Gaza to allow for aid delivery, Al Jazeera reports.

In a post on X, Ben-Gvir said the decision was “delusional”, especially after the recent death of 10 Israeli soldiers, and had not been approved by Israel’s war cabinet.

Ben-Gvir has repeatedly called for Israel to slash aid delivered to Gaza during the military campaign and to re-occupy the enclave.
