Seven rabbis and peace activists were detained while attempting to bring food supplies into Gaza, organized by Rabbis for Ceasefire, to draw attention to rising reports of starvation in the area. The effort, coinciding with Passover, aimed to underscore the connection between Jewish and Palestinian liberation. Although the attempt failed, the supplies will be donated to Palestinians in the West Bank. Widespread food shortages in Gaza are exacerbated by Israeli restrictions and logistical challenges, despite Israel's denial of deliberate aid limitations. Israeli officials cite infrastructure issues at the Erez crossing for the difficulties in aid delivery. Despite opposition among Jewish Israelis, efforts to block aid convoys entering Gaza persist.
