Israel has said it will keep blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, as it vowed to force Hamas into releasing the remaining hostages from the 7 October attacks.
The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, said: “Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers preventing Hamas from using it as a tool with the population.”
“It” is Gaza itself? Hamas shouldn’t “use” Gaza as a tool “with the population?”
No, “it” is the humanitarian aid that is being blocked.
Wouldn’t want humanitarian aid to be used as a tool. That would be terrible.
Oh I see, thanks! The sentence structure was confusing me
