On June 16 local time, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced a "partial tactical suspension of military activities" near a material delivery route in southern Gaza to allow humanitarian supplies to enter and leave, from 8:00 to 19:00 local time every day. But this move was condemned by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and members of the far right cabinet.

According to the Jerusalem Post of Israel, Netanyahu said in a statement issued by a senior official on the 16th that "tactical suspension" is unacceptable and Israel will continue its military operations in Rafah, the southern city of Gaza. The Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gewell also demanded that the Israeli army stop "crazy practices" and oppose any assistance to Gaza.

Netanyahu said in his statement that he knew nothing about the "tactical suspension" and that he had clearly told military officials that this was "unacceptable". The statement added: "After investigation, the Prime Minister was assured that the policy of the Israel Defense Forces has not changed and that the military operation in Rafah will continue as planned."

An Israeli official told CNN that Netanyahu was very unhappy when he heard that the Israeli army would "suspend tactical operations". He immediately contacted military officials and asked the Israeli army to guarantee that it would continue to attack Rafah.

The extreme right-wing politician and the Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gewell also condemned the Israeli army's actions. He called on the officials who made this decision to resign and claimed that the decision had not been approved by the cabinet. Ben Gevile claimed: "It is time to stop this crazy practice, which will only lead to more deaths of soldiers."

On the 16th, the Israel Defense Forces announced a "partial tactical suspension of military activities" near a material delivery route in southern Gaza from the 15th local time to allow humanitarian supplies to enter and leave. The time is from 8:00 to 19:00 local time every day. The Israeli army will allow trucks to enter Gaza from the Kerem Shalom crossing point, drive northward along the Salahedin Road, and arrive at the European hospital near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.
