Israel cuts off electricity to Gaza
ai generated text
Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen stated that the move is part of Israel's effort to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages and agreeing to a lasting truce. The decision has been met with opposition from Hamas, who described it as "blackmail." The effects of the decision are not immediately clear, but Gaza's desalination plants, which rely on power, may be severely impacted.
The Gaza Strip must be completely and immediately blacked out as long as even one Israeli hostage is being held there.
I think something could come together within weeks … I think there is a deal where they can get all of the prisoners out, not just the Americans.
I have just signed the order to stop supplying electricity immediately to the Gaza Strip.
We will employ all the tools at our disposal so that all the hostages are returned, and we will ensure that Hamas does not remain in Gaza in the 'day after,'
Enough with the talk, it's time for action!
We call on mediators in Egypt and Qatar, as well as the guarantors in the US administration, to ensure that the (Israeli) occupation complies with the agreement... and proceeds with the second phase according to the agreed-upon terms.
We strongly condemn the occupation's decision to cut off electricity to Gaza, after depriving it of food, medicine, and water.
Today, a directive was received to disconnect the (electricity) to the facility, and this was done.
