On the other hand, we are getting a lot of pressure from the Israeli population in the north,” a senior Israeli security official told the Observer. The Israeli security official confirmed that with forces massed on the Gaza border, primed for a ground offensive, the policy for now was to avoid a two-front war, but he cautioned that decision was also up to Hezbollah. Aid officials said they were not expecting a delivery on Sunday, with the next consignment due to be a UN convoy on Monday. On Friday Guterres visited the Rafah crossing, where substantial quantities of humanitarian aid were waiting for the green light to cross into Gaza.
