The volume of humanitarian aid trucks should be reduced from 600 to around 200 per day as part of Phase II of the US ceasefire plan, IDF sources recommended on Thursday, since pre- and post-war professional evaluations show that the Gazan population only requires 200 trucks per day.

In that light, the IDF said that almost all trucks that enter Gaza above the 200-point mark, and certainly up at levels like 600, are taken by Hamas and used to solidify its control of the Strip.

The IDF believes that although Israel was obligated to send 600 trucks per day as part of Phase I of the ceasefire in October 2025, partially to restore long-term food security and partially simply to build goodwill with the Trump administration, Phase II can and should be different.
