After Israel imposed a more than two-month blockade on Gaza, aid began being allowed in at a trickle in late May.
In a joint statement with Defence Minister Israel Katz published late Wednesday, Netanyahu said there was “information received today indicating that Hamas is once again taking control of humanitarian aid entering the northern Gaza Strip and stealing it from civilians”.

“The securing of aid has been carried out purely through tribal efforts,“ it added.
