Despite being interrupted by airstrikes, Brink's seven-and-a-half-hour meeting with Israel's wartime cabinet yielded a lot of results: the Israeli government agreed to work with the United States to develop a plan to ensure humanitarian access to Gaza and establish a "civilian safety zone."
The Israeli government has restored water to parts of southern Gaza, and humanitarian convoys gathered at Egypt's Rafah crossing have been spotted. However, there is still a serious humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, and some people have begun to be forced to drink seawater, and Hamas is responsible for this.
The United Nations refugee agency revealed that the fuel and medical equipment of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza in the near East were stolen by Hamas, and the stolen fuel was enough to power the Gaza desalination facility for 6 days.

The international community, including the United Nations, is almost unable to engage in any dialogue with Hamas, which is one of the main reasons why the international community can only "bully" Israel in this round of conflict, because the other party, Hamas, will not engage in dialogue at all. The Israeli government's refusal to allow aid supplies into Gaza is one of the reasons why it fears that the aid supplies will be snatched by Hamas as war preparedness, in addition to requiring Hamas to release the hostages first.
Hamas controls Gaza, and even more so the distribution of goods and funds in Gaza, otherwise where would senior Hamas members have the money to build villas worth at least $1 million? Where is the money worth billions of dollars? Where is the money to send children to Europe?
Since the issue of hostages was mentioned, by the way, the IDF confirmed that Hamas had taken 199 hostages (the number should continue to rise, since Hamas claimed to be acquiring new hostages, most likely including Palestinians with dual citizenship), including a number of foreigners, and the IDF had informed the families of the information and made some progress in working with the United States and other countries to free the hostages.
As for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Israel's ambassador to Britain, Spie Hotovelli, denied in an interview that "there is no humanitarian crisis, Israel is responsible for the security of Israelis and Hamas is responsible for the security of Palestinians"; When the reporter showed some of the photos, Tspi Hotovelli asked the reporter if he was already a mother, and after receiving an affirmative answer, Tspi Hotovelli said, "What would you think if you saw your child executed in front of you?" Would you expect your government to care about those Nazis who committed crimes and say: Wait, first we need to protect the enemy, and then protect my children? But for your prime minister, your children are a priority. Can you understand? ”
Tspie Hotovelli also told reporters that if there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, "then you go and blame Hamas and ask Hamas why it started those barbaric acts." ”
