Senior officials in Israel’s security establishment believe that the humanitarian supplies and food in the Gaza Strip will only last another month or so, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

The report says this was the reason for Defense Minister Israel Katz’s announcement this morning — which he quickly walked back amid political backlash — that the government would soon reallow aid flow into the territory.

Jerusalem argues that withholding aid is a central measure in pressuring Hamas to agree to a hostage deal.

Kan says top IDF brass are discussing how to let aid in without it reaching Hamas. It says the security apparatus is contacting civilian groups that could potentially hand out humanitarian aid as part of a future deal.
