Israeli Energy Minister Orders Immediate Power Cut to Gaza Strip
On Sunday, Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen announced that he had issued directives to halt electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip. The decision comes just one week after Israel imposed a ban on humanitarian aid entering the war-torn region. In a video statement, Cohen declared, “I have just signed an order to immediately stop the electricity supply to the Gaza Strip.” He further emphasized, “We will use all available tools to secure the release of hostages and ensure that Hamas no longer exists in Gaza the day after the war.”
The move to cut power to Gaza exacerbates an already dire humanitarian situation in the region, where infrastructure has been heavily damaged due to ongoing conflict. Critics argue that such measures disproportionately affect civilians, while Israeli officials maintain that they are necessary for national security and achieving strategic objectives in the conflict.
This latest development has sparked widespread concern among international observers, with many calling for urgent dialogue to address the escalating crisis in Gaza. The decision to cut electricity could have far-reaching consequences, especially during the winter season and the drop in temperatures.
