The war cabinet has decided to allow the opening of an additional water line to the southern Gaza Strip.
According to the cabinet, the decision would give legitimacy to the continuation of the military operation in the northern Gaza Strip.
They said that the goal is that on the day after the war, Israel would be completely disconnected from the Gaza Strip.
The water line is being opened as Hamas is working to prevent civilians from moving to the south of the Gaza Strip.
The move, according to the government, is meant to give a message to Gaza residents to move south, to distance themselves from the battlefields, and to go to places where they can find humanitarian needs such as water.
Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman MK Avigdor Liberman strongly criticized the war cabinet's decision.
"The cabinet's decision to continue humanitarian aid by opening an additional water line and dramatically increasing the number of trucks that are entering the Rafah Crossing, without any information regarding the hostages, and ceding from the demand that the Red Cross meet them in return for aid, is simply idiocy," Liberman wrote.
He added: "I again emphasize: we have no real way to know or oversee what's entering the Gaza Strip, and anyone who says otherwise is lying. We have no right to give up on our daughters and sons."
