White House: Larger fuel deliveries to Gaza needed on regular basis

The White House said in a social media post on X that it was glad Israel has agreed to deliver fuel to Gaza, noting it had made a "strong request" for Israel to do so.

It added that the delivery of fuel into Gaza should happen "continue on a regular basis and in larger quantities".

After Hamas launched its attack on Israel on 7 October, Israel imposed a full siege on Gaza, cutting off all goods into the enclave, as well as cutting off water to the Strip. It has since begun to allow some aid trucks in via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

Israel on Friday announced it would deliver 140,000 liters of fuel into Gaza every two days after a request from Washington.
