Islamic Jihad and Hamas have claimed that they have been holding 130 hostages, as some reports estimate that around 200 were held in the Gaza Strip.
No electricity or water will be supplied to Gaza till hostages released: Minister
Energy Minister Israel Katz said Israelwill not be supplying any water or electricity to Gaza until the people abducted by Hamas during its attack come back to their homes.
“Humanitarian aid to Gaza? No electrical switch will be turned on, no water pump will be opened and no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli abductees are returned home,” he stated on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Humanitarianism for humanitarianism. And no one can preach morality to us,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, all the proposal for establishing corridors outside Gaza for Palestinians who were fleeting the retaliatory bombardment of Israel in the embattled land was rejected by the Egyptian government, said a senior Egyptian official.
The government official made the statement in response to White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby who had stated that the Biden government is holding active conversations to organise safe passage for civilians out of Gaza.
Egypt has been holding intensive talks with the United States and Israel to allow the delivery of fuel and aid through its Rafah crossing point.
