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.”

Isn't that like against the Geneva Convention?

I think it's safe to call it a Geneva Suggestion at this point.

I think it is against the Ten Commandements as well.

Odds are higher that divine retribution strikes Israel than Geneva Convention signatures besides Yemen upholding their responsibility.
