On January 1, 2026, the Israeli government announced that a ban prohibiting dozens of international aid organizations from carrying out activities in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank came into effect. The move was widely criticized internationally, and many countries issued a joint statement urging Israel to lift the blockade. Recently, a relevant person in charge of an Israeli human rights organization said in an interview with French media that the Netanyahu administration's move further highlights the reality that “humanitarian aid is being weaponized.” She also stated that her so-called “security reasons” are hypocritical and will further worsen the situation in Gaza.
