Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted that Israel is supporting an armed faction in Gaza, opposing Hamas, widespread criticism and warning from security experts that have been described as a criminal gang. His comment follows the claims of former Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman that the weapons were transferred to the group on Netanyahu’s instructions.“What leaked by Liberman? That security sources activated a clan in Gaza that opposed Hamas? What is bad about it?” Netanyahu said in a video posted on Thursday. “This is only good, it is saving the lives of Israeli soldiers.”According to the news agency AFPIn question, the group is linked to a local Bedouin tribe in Rafah and led by Yasar Abu Shabab, accused of robbing trucks described as a “criminal gang” described on foreign relations by the European Council. ECFR also said that Hamas had earlier put Abu Shabab in jail for smuggling drugs.Israel and Palestinian media have reported that the group has received weapons, funds and shelters from Israeli security forces to call itself popular forces. Hamas recently claimed that the group had “chosen betrayal and theft as their way” and accused them of working in coordination with the Israeli army and to rob humanist aid and create crises in Gaza.Michael Millstin, Tel Aviv’s Moshe Dayan was quoted by a Palestinian affairs specialist at the center, by the news agency AFP Saying that the Israeli decision to support the group of Abu Shabab was “an imagination” and warned, “I really hope that it will not end with destruction.”The dispute comes to deepen the crisis in Gaza. The Palestinians destroyed Eid al-Dada, which destroyed houses, which was performed in the debris of collapsed mosques and widespread food deficiency. Kamal Imran in Khan Younis said, “There is no food, no flour, no shelter, no mosque, no house.” “This is the worst feast by the Palestinian people.”Israel launched its aggressive launch in Gaza after an attack by Hamas, a 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people in Israel. Since then, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, more than 54,000 Palestinians, most women and children have been killed. About 90% of the population of Gaza has been displaced, and the United Nations has warned that the entire region is threatened by famine.In response to assistance in looting and distribution challenges, Israel supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a new group of American contractors as an alternative to the United Nations. However, amid rising violence, all its centers closed on Friday. The Foundation urged the residents to stay away from the distribution points until next information.Popular forces refused to cooperate with Israel in a Facebook statement. “Our weapons are simple, old, and have come through our own support,” claimed. Despite this, four of its members were allegedly killed by Hamas in recent times, Local tribal leaders labeled Abu Shabab as “ally and gangster”.According to AFP, Netanyahu’s decision has triggered serious concerns between Israeli analysts and critics, who are afraid of the move that the region may unstable further. “Shabak or Army thought it was a wonderful idea to turn this militia, gang into a proxy,” Milstin said.
