On October 7, 2023, Hamas's incursion into Israel initiated a cycle of violence that has led to mass hunger in Gaza. This caused a moral backlash against Israel, despite Hamas's instigation of the conflict. Netanyahu's government enforced policies that exacerbated the food crisis, including a blockade on Gaza that deprived inhabitants of basic nourishment. Even after international pressure lifted the siege, Israel continued limiting aid efforts, hoping to weaken Hamas's control. However, their strategy has not forced Hamas to capitulate, demonstrating the ineffectiveness of starvation as a tactic in this context.
Hamas ignited a chain of events that has led to mass hunger in Gaza, ultimately discrediting Israel due to its role in the food crisis.
Netanyahu's government imposed a blockade on Gaza, which deprived Gazans of adequate nourishment and contributed to widespread starvation.
Israeli officials believed that food had become a weapon for Hamas, using it as a means to sustain fighters and profit through black-market activities.
The policy of depriving Gaza's population has failed, as Hamas remains resolute and is not closer to surrendering or releasing hostages.
