Israel will not be involved in Gaza aid distribution but will take part in providing security, US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said in a press conference on Friday.

Israel has been imposing an aid blockade on the enclave since early March. Huckabee said the supply of aid was not dependent on reaching a ceasefire.
