He is also in favour of the idea of completely capturing the Gaza Strip and expelling the Palestinian population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In January he left the government in protest against a temporary ceasefire with the Palestinian Islamist organization Hamas. After the resumption of fighting, he was given his post back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Israel has largely blocked independent aid deliveries for the suffering population in the Gaza Strip for months and has been subjected to massive international criticism as a result.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, for the first time, larger aid deliveries have reached the Gaza Strip again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Sunday, a convoy of around 100 lorries carrying goods travelled to the sealed-off coastal area, where around 2 million Palestinians live.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Following the resumption of aid deliveries, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel remains committed to achieving its declared war aims. Israel is making progress &#8220;in the battle and in the negotiations,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Nevertheless, the delivery of &#8220;minimal humanitarian aid&#8221; into the Gaza Strip must be permitted, Netanyahu continued.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>An airplane drops humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip.
