According to Philippe Lazzarini, this was the first time in news history that a commissioner-general has experienced something like this.
Mr. Lazzarini stated that it would be “easy to flood Gaza with food” when appearing on’The World With Yalda Hakim. However, earlier this week, he was stopped from accessing the beleaguered region.
Israel claims he was singled out for special treatment, but he has refuted this claim and said that mistakes in his visa application caused the ban.
Having been to Gaza several times before, Mr. Lazzarini asserts that he was the only member of his team whose news, the Israeli defense organization, stopped him from entering on Monday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is unwavering in his resolve to launch a ground invasion of Rafah, where he believes Hamas’s final battalions are sheltering, despite pressure from Western friends.
Although the country has denied any involvement in the alleged restrictions on supplies reaching Gaza, the UN has previously stated that such actions may constitute war crimes.
