Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz have issued a joint statement saying they have instructed the Israeli military to present a plan to stop Hamas from “seizing” aid in Gaza, according to reports in several Israeli media outlets, Al Jazeera reports.

“Following information received today that Hamas is again taking control of humanitarian aid entering northern Gaza and stealing it from civilians, the Prime Minister and Defense Minister have instructed the [Israeli military] to present within 48 hours an action plan to prevent Hamas from seizing the aid,” said the statement, reportedly issued just before midnight on Wednesday.

Citing an unnamed official, Israel’s Channel 12 news reported that the government has already halted aid deliveries to Gaza, with the pause to remain in place until the Israeli military presents its plan.
