Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar said on Wednesday that no humanitarian aid should be allowed into Gaza, and instead, “hellfire” should be unleashed on Gaza until the captives are returned.

“The despicable murderers in Gaza deserve no humanitarian assistance from any civilian or military mechanism,” Zohar said on X. “Only hellfire should be poured on the makers of terrorism until the last hostage returns from Gaza.”

All border crossings to Gaza have remained shut, with the flow of aid into the strip halted. Hospitals across Gaza are on the brink of total collapse due to the lack of desperately needed medical supplies.
