Israel To Cut Off All Electricity To Gaza Residents

The Guardian reports:

Israel is to cut off any remaining electricity supplies to Gaza in an apparent attempt to ramp up pressure on Hamas amid increasingly chaotic multi-track negotiations over the fragile ceasefire in the territory.

Humanitarian officials in Gaza contacted on Sunday afternoon said they thought the only functioning desalination plant would be forced to shut down, reducing the already meagre supply of clean water. Others have suggested the remaining sewage treatment plant could be affected.

Eli Cohen, Israel’s energy minister, said that Israel would use “all means available … to ensure the return of all Israeli hostages” and that Hamas would not remain in Gaza after the war. Sunday’s announcement comes a week after Israel cut off all supplies of goods to the territory to over 2 million people.
