Israel has announced an immediate cutoff of electricity supply to Gaza, targeting the last facility that was receiving Israeli power. The decision is part of a strategy to increase pressure on Hamas amidst ongoing negotiations for hostages and impending truce talks. Israeli officials, including the Energy Minister, emphasized that this action aims to exert further pressure on Hamas while highlighting that the electricity cut will primarily impact the desalination plant reliant on Israeli power. This move comes as Israel prepares to potentially escalate military operations in Gaza and outlines a plan for tighter control over aid into the region.
