Rubio accused Hamas of stealing humanitarian aid and called on it to lay down its arms.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the radical Palestinian movement Hamas is preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and must stop looting and lay down their weapons. He wrote about this on November 1 on his page on the social network X.

"Hamas continues to deprive Gazans of the humanitarian aid they desperately need. This theft undermines international efforts to support President Trump's plan to deliver critical aid to innocent civilians," Rubio said.

He also attached a video of the Pentagon's Central Command pointing to Hamas members suspected of stealing food from a truck with aid.

Rubio stressed that the movement must "lay down its arms and stop looting so that Gaza can have a bright future."

Waiting room: Israel and Hamas maintain shaky truce in Gaza

At the same time, West Jerusalem is considering all options for the development of events in the event of a breakdown of the agreement.

Earlier, on October 29, it was reported that Israel and Hamas recognize the need to observe a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. Qatar has made efforts to reach an agreement between the parties and is seeking to convince Hamas to disarm.
