I mean, you make the distinction between Hamas and the Palestinian people, and yet it's been
00:06
seven weeks since any humanitarian aid was allowed into the Gaza Strip. The humanitarian
00:12
situation is being described as being at the worst point yet in what's been, as we've been
00:18
saying, a horrific conflict. At what point do you think Israel will reconsider the admission
00:25
of aid into Gaza? So let's distinguish here in that sense between both the government,
00:31
the military itself, subordinate to the government, and within that there's a unit called the
00:36
coordination of the government inside the occupied territories, in this case Kogat, who have
00:41
constantly said we should never have stopped the humanitarian supply. Here, Tom, I'm going
00:45
to be openly critical of the decisions of the Israeli government. I'm allowed to be critical
00:50
of it. That doesn't mean that I think everything they do is both great or bad. But in this case,
00:55
I do not see the impact itself of stopping the humanitarian help. What the Israeli government
01:01
will tell you, and I'm not a government spokesperson, is that they will say that that's the only
01:06
thing that actually really pressures Hamas. I can't say they're wrong, but I disagree with
01:12
them. For me, every human being deserves water, food. That's a basic. I don't like the fact
01:17
that we've stopped it. What Israel is saying that they're doing is to make sure that that
01:21
doesn't get to Hamas again, that it wasn't getting to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,
01:25
that it was being taken over by Hamas.
