Zionist regime suspends fuel delivery to besieged Gaza Strip

Zionist entity's war minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has ordered an immediate halt to fuel deliveries bound to the besieged Gaza Strip, saying the controversial decision has been made as a response to what he called attacks against Israeli troopers and settlers.

The coastal enclave has been under a crippling Israeli siege since 2007, which has prevented some two million Palestinians from having free access to the remainder of Palestine and the outside world. The blockade has also undermined living conditions in the sliver and fragmented its economic and social fabric, causing unprecedented unemployment and poverty.

The Tel Aviv regime also carries out regular attacks on its inhabitants under the pretext of hitting positions belonging to the Hamas resistance movement, which governs the territory.

Tensions have been running high near the fence, separating Gaza from the occupied territories, since March 30, which marked the start of a series of protests dubbed “The Great March of Return.” Palestinian protesters demand the right to return for those driven out of their homeland.
