The Mothers of the Soldiers headquarters, which unites hundreds of mothers who sons are fighting in Gaza, on Thursday morning called on the Cabinet to rethink its decision to allow an increased amount of fuel into Gaza each day.
Until now, Israel has allowed 60,000 liters of fuel to enter Gaza each day for humanitarian needs. On Wednesday, Israel's Cabinet voted to triple that number and allow 180,000 liters of fuel into Gaza each day.
The headquarters also called on the Cabinet to prioritize only the welfare of the soldiers, and Israel's victory. According to them, increasing the amount of fuel allowed into Gaza will endanger the lives of Israeli soldiers fighting on the ground.
The mothers added, "More fuel to Gaza means more air for the terrorists, more fuel, and more time fighting Hamas. The government of Israel must do everything in order to defeat Hamas and ensure the safety of our sons on the battlefield."
"More air for the terrorists means harder fighting and more danger to our forces. We must not capitulate to demands which will harm the fighting and make things more difficult for our soldiers. We expect the Cabinet to rethink the decision and tell [US President Joe] Biden. 'Don't, Do.'"
