In a recent press conference, U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee announced that Israel would abstain from direct involvement in distributing aid within Gaza. However, the nation will contribute significantly to maintaining security in the region.

Despite the blockade Israel has enforced on Gaza since March, Huckabee emphasized that the supply of humanitarian aid to the enclave does not hinge on reaching a ceasefire agreement.

This stance underscores the complex dynamics at play, as international entities navigate the provision of essential supplies amid ongoing tensions.
