Israel's military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.

Israel’s military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.

The agency, known as UNRWA, posted its warning on social media on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.

“Ask Hamas if you can have some,” the IDF wrote.

    Hamas is, at the end of the day, an organization dedicated to making martyrs of their people first and providing for them second.

    This isn’t speculation or opinion - this is their official stance

      I love how easy it is for you to be onkwith this because you’ve been told they do in fact have a government. But they don’t. Not really. A 45 square km patch, 2M total pop, with 50% being literal kids.

      But yes they’re just as organized ,capable and sustained as other large western nations. They must be bombed, surely!

        Sounds like the kind of place that needs another country to come in before they get radicalized and do something stupid.
