"We're going to take control of all the Gaza Strip,” Netanyahu vowed Monday in a video released by his office announcing that Israel would begin delivering “minimal humanitarian aid: food and medicine only.”

"Our best friends in the world—senators I know as strong supporters of Israel—have warned that they cannot support us if images of mass starvation emerge," he said. “They come to me and say, ‘We’ll give you all the help you need to win the war… but we can’t be receiving pictures of famine,’” Netanyahu added. To continue the war of annihilation, he asserted, “We need to do it in a way that they won't stop us.”

If the plan to top stop the "images of mass starvation" then this won't work. Recovering from famine requires extra food to put weight back on and heal the damage caused by starvation. Without extra food people will continue to die.

You also need close monitoring of daily blood tests and blood glucose to make sure the sudden influx of nutrients doesn't actually kill you (refeeding syndrome).

This level of mass starvation is a disaster that can't be properly managed without a functioning healthcare system

Per Al Jazeera, 5 aid trucks is not enough to feed 1000 people, while around 2 million people live in Gaza, most of which are facing starvation.

Bezalel Smotrich admitted today in a speech that Israel's plan was to starve Gaza because "the world isn't stopping us".

“Truth be told, until the last of the hostages returns, we should also not let water into the Gaza Strip. But the reality is that if we do that, the world will force us to halt the war immediately, and to lose. It would be winning the battle, and losing the war. I'm committed to winning the war,” Smotrich declared. “We are disassembling Gaza, and leaving it as piles of rubble, with total destruction [which has] no precedent globally. And the world isn't stopping us. There are pressures. There are those who attack [us]; they are trying to [make us] stop; they are not succeeding. You know why they aren't succeeding? Because we are navigating [the campaign] responsibly and wisely, and that's how we'll continue to do [it]."
