plan

WHAT WE'RE COVERING

 * Former Israeli defense minister and war cabinet member Benny Gantz is
   demanding that the cabinet lays out a plan for the war against Hamas by June
   8, threatening to withdraw from the government if his demands are not met.
 * Gaza faces a “dire” food situation as barely more than 300 aid trucks have
   entered the strip since Israel began its offensive in Rafah, a UN agency said
   in a report published Friday.
 * The UN report said supplies provided via a floating pier built by the US
   military are insufficient to address the crisis alone. Israel’s siege on the
   enclave has only tightened with the closing of Rafah’s border crossing.
 * In northern Gaza, displaced Palestinians describe “death and horror” at the
   Jabalya refugee camp, where civil defense workers say they’ve pulled at least
   150 bodies from the rubble left by heavy Israeli bombardment and fresh
   fighting with Hamas.

'ABSOLUTE DISASTER' AT KAMAL ADWAN HOSPITAL AS DOZENS OF KILLED AND INJURED
PALESTINIANS ARRIVE

From Abdel Qadder Al-Sabbah and CNN's Sarah El Sirgany and Kareem El Damanhoury

Dozens of killed and injured Palestinians arrived at Kamal Adwan Hospital on
Saturday as fighting continued in northern Gaza, the hospital’s director general
Hussam Abu Saifya told CNN, describing the situation as “an absolute disaster.”

“Adwan is a small hospital without the capacity for this large number of
injuries, all of which are critical,” he said. “We don’t have enough medical
supplies and medications. We are facing a medical catastrophe.”

Al-Ghad TV journalist Abdel Karim Al-Zweidi was among the injured who arrived at
the hospital after a shell hit a street where he was filming.

“A shell hit the street where a number of civilians were standing and it hit the
center of their gathering,” Al-Zweidi told CNN. “I was injured and every citizen
on the street was injured. A lot of people were killed.”

Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli military said its troops had killed Palestinian
militants in multiple battles in Jabalya in northern Gaza. CNN footage from the
area showed large explosions, with the sounds of bombardment, gunfire and
drones.

DESPERATE GAZANS GRAB AID BOXES FROM MOVING TRUCKS

From Mohammad Al-Sawalhi, Eyad Kourdi and CNN’s Sarah El Sirgany

States-built floating pier in central Gaza on May 18.

A group of men in southern Gaza intercepted trucks carrying aid from a newly
introduced floating pier Saturday, seizing food boxes in a dramatic show of
desperation.

CNN video showed the men running alongside the trucks and jumping on the back of
the vehicles while they were still moving, reaching for the boxes of aid secured
beneath tarps. When the trucks stopped, large groups formed along the roadside,
with people clamoring aboard the vehicles to grab supplies.

Ramadan Al-Aklok, a local who took a box of high-energy biscuits from a truck,
said, “They brought these,” pointing to the box, “as aid to the people. The
trucks were moving, and men jumped on them because of the widespread hunger.”

One of the men interviewed by CNN in the area expressed deep skepticism about
the intentions behind the floating pier, which was built by the US military. He
questioned whether the aid was genuinely meant to assist the Palestinian people
or had “ulterior motives.”

“They say it’s for aid, but people are apprehensive. Is this aid or something
else? We know that the US has never supported the Palestinian cause, so it’s
implausible that it’s giving us aid without something in return,” Mounir Ayad, a
Gaza resident, told CNN.

This sentiment was echoed by others in the area, who questioned why the aid
could not be transported through existing land crossings, which they believe
would effectively end the starvation in Gaza if opened.

Numerous United Nations agencies have warned that aid from the pier will not be
sufficient to address a spiraling hunger crisis while Israel still tightly
restricts more efficient deliveries via land crossing.

ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE REJECTS GANTZ’S ULTIMATUM

From Eugenia Yosef and CNN's Kareem El Damanhoury

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office has rejected Benny Gantz’s threat to leave
the government, saying the ultimatum he laid out for the war plan against Hamas
would harm Israel.

“The conditions set by Benny Gantz are washed-up words whose meaning is clear:
the end of the war and a defeat for Israel, the abandonment of most of the
hostages, leaving Hamas intact and the establishment of a Palestinian state,”
the office said in a statement. 

The office also asked Gantz if he’s determined to eliminate the Hamas
battalions, oppose the introduction of the Palestinian Authority into Gaza and
oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state – saying Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu is committed to all three.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu thinks that the emergency government is important for
achieving all the goals of the war, including the return of all our hostages,
and expects Gantz to clarify his positions to the public on these issues,”
according to the statement.

Remember: Gantz leaving the emergency war cabinet would not trigger a collapse
of Netanyahu’s government, because he is not part of the coalition government.
But his potential withdrawal would damage the image of wartime unity that
Netanyahu has attempted to project throughout the war in Gaza.

Gantz responds: The war cabinet minister was quick to release a statement in
response to Netanyahu’s office, saying the prime minister should not “drag his
feet for fear of the extremists in his government.”

Gantz said Netanyahu would have “finished the mission” if he would have listened
to Gantz and entered Rafah months ago.

This post has been updated with Gantz’s response to the Prime Minister’s Office.

1 OF THE 3 AMERICAN DOCTORS REMAINING IN GAZA SPEAKS OUT, CALLING ON BIDEN TO
HELP PROTECT AID WORKERS

From CNN's Betsy Klein

Dr. Adam Hamawy, a US Army combat surgeon who is one of three American doctors
choosing to stay behind in the Gazan city of Rafah, called on President Joe
Biden to help protect him and other aid workers in a new statement Saturday.

I have never in my career witnessed the level of atrocities and targeting of my
medical colleagues as I have in Gaza,” Hamawy wrote.



He was among a group of 20 American doctors that arrived in Gaza on May 1 to
serve patients at the European Hospital. Their planned May 13 departure was
denied after Israel’s military offensive in Rafah shuttered a critical border
crossing.

While the White House said Friday that it was able to evacuate 17 of the doctors
who wished to leave, Hamawy wrote that he “could not in good conscience leave my
team behind.”

The New Jersey-based doctor, who has been credited with saving Sen. Tammy
Duckworth’s life in Iraq, is now calling on Biden to pressure Israel to ensure
that medical professionals can continue to provide humanitarian aid.

“This burden falls on the international community and President Biden to use
their full influence to ensure medical personnel can continue their critical
work without being put in harm’s way. We worry that the European Hospital we
currently are in will suffer a similar fate of Al-Shifa and Nasser hospitals,
where humanitarian workers, patients, and civilians were massacred,” he said.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

Hamawy’s statement was first shared with the Washington Post.

AT LEAST ONE PERSON ARRESTED DURING ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS IN TEL AVIV

Israeli police say they have arrested at least one person during anti-government
protests in Tel Aviv on Saturday night.

A police spokesperson says police initially authorized a demonstration at the
Kaplan intersection of the city, but later, a number of protesters gathered at a
different intersection, lit torches and tried to go down to a road to block it.
Authorities deemed those protests illegal and ordered people to disperse.

Police say the group didn’t obey that order and that officers used unspecified
“measures” to try to clear the area. At least one person was arrested over
disorderly conduct, and several traffic tickets were handed out.

Some context: Israel has seen large anti-government protests in major cities for
weeks, with domonstrators calling for the release of all hostages held in Gaza
and, in many cases, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s resignation over his
handling of the war.

Friday’s protests also come as an ultimatum from war cabinet member Benny Gantz
— who said he would leave the government if the cabinet does not lay out a plan
for the war against Hamas by early June — has added further turmoil to
Netanyahu’s government.

A US-BUILT PIER IS BEGINNING TO FUNNEL AID INTO GAZA. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS AND
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

The Israel Defense Forces said Saturday that more than 300 pallets of
humanitarian aid were delivered to Gaza through a new floating pier installed by
the US military.

It comes after the United Nations’ humanitarian agency said Gaza is facing a
“dire” food situation as barely more than 300 aid trucks have entered the strip
since Israel began its offensive in Rafah.

The pier, which was anchored to a beach in Gaza on Thursday, is estimated to
facilitate about 500 tons of humanitarian assistance per day into the enclave,
according to US Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper.

Here’s how the whole process works:

ABOUT 800,000 PEOPLE HAVE FLED RAFAH SINCE ISRAELI OPERATION BEGAN IN THE CITY,
HEAD OF UN AGENCY SAYS

Approximately 800,000 people, nearly half of Rafah’s population, have been
displaced since Israeli forces started military operations in the area on May 6,
according to the head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for
Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

Since the conflict in Gaza began, Palestinians have been repeatedly forced to
flee, “never finding safety, not even in UNRWA shelters,” the agency’s
commissioner general, Philippe Lazzarini, said Saturday in a post on X.

He also said the number of aid trucks getting into the strip is only “a small
trickle amid the growing humanitarian needs and mass displacement.”

“While we welcome reports on first shipments arriving at the new floating dock,
land routes remain the most viable, effective, efficient and safest aid delivery
method. The crossings must re-open and be safe to access,” he said.

Lazzarini’s comments echo a warning from another UN agency, which said in a
report Friday that Gazans face a “dire” food situation as Israel tightly
restricts aid deliveries to the enclave.

ISRAELI OPPOSITION LEADER TELLS GANTZ TO LEAVE GOVERNMENT

From CNN's Michael Rios and Jeremy Diamond

Tel Aviv, Israel, on May 18.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid urged war cabinet ministers Benny Gantz and
Gadi Eisenkot to “get out” of the government, suggesting their exits could lead
to the removal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Responding to Gantz’s Saturday news briefing — in which the former defense
minister threatened to leave the government unless a concrete war plan is
implemented by early June — Lapid said:

“Enough with the press conferences, enough with the empty ultimatums, get out!
If you weren’t sitting in the government, we would already be in the
post-Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir era,” Lapid said.

“The fact that Netanyahu is still in power is already registered in your name,”
he added.

Some context: Gantz is not part of the coalition government, which means his
potential withdrawal from the emergency war cabinet does not automatically
trigger a collapse of Netanyahu’s government. However, it could upend the image
of wartime unity that Netanyahu has attempted to create and sustain.

30 PEOPLE KILLED BY ISRAELI BOMBARDMENT IN NORTHERN GAZA, ACCORDING TO HOSPITAL

The Israeli military has continued to strike targets across the Gaza Strip. 

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement Saturday that it had struck over
70 “terror targets” during the past day, including “weapons storage facilities,
military infrastructure sites, terrorists who posed a threat to IDF troops, and
military compounds.”

The statement added that Israeli soldiers had also continued military operations
in eastern Rafah, Jabalya and central Gaza.



According to Kamal Adwan Hospital, 30 people were killed as a result of Israeli
bombardment in northern Gaza on Friday.

Hospital officials said 14 people were killed and 30 others injured after a
missile hit a residential block close to the hospital. In Jabalya, at least 11
people were killed and 25 injured in an Israeli attack near a shelter for the
displaced, the hospital officials added.

According to the Gaza health ministry, over 35,000 people have been killed and
nearly 80,000 injured in the enclave since October 7. Others remain under
rubble, it added.

CNN cannot independently verify death counts due to restricted international
media access to the strip.

GANTZ WARNS HE WILL WITHDRAW FROM GOVERNMENT IF WAR CABINET DOES NOT LAY OUT A
PLAN BY EARLY JUNE

Former Israeli defense minister and war cabinet member Benny Gantz is demanding
that the cabinet lays out a plan for the war against Hamas by June 8.

In remarks in the city of Ramat Gan on Saturday night local time, Gantz warned
that if his demands are not met, he will withdraw from the government. 

He said the plan should eliminate Hamas, bring back the hostages, establish an
alternative government in the strip, bring back Israeli residents to the north
of Israel, and set up a plan to make progress on normalization with Saudi
Arabia.

Gantz said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must choose between “victory and
disaster” as he issued the ultimatum.

“If (Netanyahu) choose(s) to lead the nation into the abyss, we will withdraw
from the government, turn to the people, and form a government that can bring
about a real victory,” Gantz said.

Demands for a plan: Gantz’s ultimatum comes days after current Defense Minister
Yoav Gallant publicly demanded a post-war plan and warned he would oppose
Israeli rule in Gaza — his most direct statement on the topic. Gallant warned of
the consequences of a long-term Israeli military presence in Gaza and called out
Netanyahu directly.

On Rafah: Gantz defended Israel’s military operations in Rafah, calling the city
a “gate” for the re-emergence of Hamas. Gantz said that to achieve peace between
Israelis and Palestinians, Hamas cannot remain in Gaza and must be cleared from
Rafah.

He acknowledged the harmful impact the war is having on civilians but insisted
that “decisiveness” is needed.

The Israeli military has recovered the body of another hostage in the Gaza
Strip, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a news
conference Saturday. 

Ron Benjamin went on a bicycle trip with his friends on October 7, before he was
killed at Mefalsim Intersection during the Hamas attack, Hagari said. His body
was then abducted by Hamas and taken to Gaza, he added.

This follows Friday’s news that the bodies of three other hostages were
recovered from a Gaza tunnel.

ACCESS TO FOOD IN GAZA "DIRE" FOLLOWING ISRAELI OPERATION IN RAFAH, ACCORDING TO
UN HUMANITARIAN AGENCY

Gaza is facing a “dire” food situation as barely more than 300 aid trucks have
entered the strip since Israel began its offensive in Rafah, a United Nations
humanitarian agency said in a report Friday.

“More than 3,000 metric tons of food in main warehouses have become inaccessible
by food security partners due to ongoing hostilities,” according to the Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. “Limited amounts of supplies have
entered Gaza since 6 May and remain largely insufficient to address the soaring
needs,” it added.

Israeli forces seized the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing with
Egypt on May 7, causing aid deliveries through Rafah to be halted.

The situation in Khan Younis and Deir al Balah continues to deteriorate as
hundreds of thousands of Palestinians flee into the two districts to escape
Israeli operations in Rafah, according to OCHA.

“Between 6 and 16 May, according to the UN, nearly 640,000 people were displaced
from Rafah. … There are no remaining stocks of shelter materials inside Gaza,”
the report said. 

The UN agency stressed that more aid should be allowed to pass through
checkpoints and enter Gaza by land.

“Any and all aid into Gaza is welcome by any route. However, getting aid to
people in need, into and across Gaza, cannot and should not depend on a floating
dock,” OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said Friday, referring to the floating
pier built by the US military that has started to funnel aid to the enclave.

Over 300 pallets of humanitarian aid were delivered to Gaza through the pier,
according to a statement from Israel Defense Forces on Saturday.

DISPLACED WOMAN DESCRIBES "DEATH AND HORROR" AT GAZA REFUGEE CAMP AS BATTLES
RAGE NEARBY

From Abdel Qadder Al-Sabbah in Jabalya

A displaced woman has told CNN of the dire conditions at the Jabalya refugee
camp in northern Gaza, after Israel’s military heavily bombarded the area and
engaged in renewed fighting with Palestinian militants there.

“It’s death and horror as you can see. We wake up scared and go to bed scared,”
Ibtisam Abu Abeid told CNN on Friday. 

“Our house is gone. Four floors for me and my children — all gone,” she said,
referring to her home in the nearby city of Beit Hanoun.

She is now staying in a destroyed shelter in the center of Jabalya, after being
again displaced from the eastern part of the camp. Abu Abeid says she has no
access to toilet facilities or adequate shelter, and water supply is scarce.

The Israeli military said Saturday that its troops had killed Palestinian
militants in multiple battles in Jabalya. CNN footage from the area shows large
explosions, with the sounds of bombardment, gunfire and drones heard throughout.



Rescuers pull bodies from the rubble: Some 300 houses were completely destroyed
over the course of seven days during the Israeli incursion in Jabalya, according
to Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for the civil defense emergency services in
Gaza.

Bassal’s teams have recovered at least 150 bodies and rescued hundreds of
wounded people over the past week at the refugee camp, he told CNN on Saturday.

He warned that many bodies remain under the rubble, as civil defense teams are
either unable to reach them or unable to dig them out. Bassal said Israeli fire
has made his team of first responders afraid to approach certain areas, despite
calls for help from citizens.

IT WILL BE A CHALLENGE TO BACKFILL THE 17 AMERICAN DOCTORS WHO DEPARTED GAZA,
SOURCES SAY

From CNN's Kylie Atwood

Aid organizations will face challenges getting doctors back into Gaza following
the departure of 17 of the 20 American doctors who were stuck there after Israel
shut the border crossing from Rafah to Egypt.

Sources familiar with the efforts to help the American doctors escape said that
backfilling them remains a major concern, largely because the Rafah crossing
remains closed after the Israeli military seized it early last week.

Remember: The crossing – when it was operating — was the only entry and exit
point for foreign aid workers. Israeli and Egyptian officials have so far failed
to reach an agreement on reopening it.

One of the doctors who decided to stay behind is Dr. Adam Hamawy, who helped
save Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s life 20 years ago in Iraq, according to a source
familiar with the matter. Hamawy traveled to Gaza with the Palestinian American
Medical Association and did not feel right leaving without other doctors coming
in to take over, the source said. 

Many members of Congress, including Duckworth, are working with the Biden
administration to push Israel to do more to get aid and humanitarian workers
into Gaza, and to get the protections needed for those workers. Earlier this
week, a top USAID official said that Israel was not doing enough to ensure the
safety of aid works.

“The deconfliction measures are not where they need to be yet, given the
complexity of the environment. So those conversations are ongoing, they need to
continue and they need to get to a place where humanitarian aid workers feel
safe and secure and able to operate safely. And I don’t think we’re there
yet,” said Sonali Korde, assistant to the administrator of USAID’s Bureau for
Humanitarian Assistance, noting that Gaza is a “very dangerous place to work.”

MILITARY ESCALATION IN RAFAH COULD BRING HUMANITARIAN OPERATIONS TO A
"STANDSTILL," WFP WARNS

From CNN’s Sarah El Sirgany and Kareem El Damanhoury

The World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that military escalation in Rafah
could “bring humanitarian operations to a standstill.”

“We know we need additional entry points and every new entry point is a new
artery pumping lifeblood into #Gaza,” WFP said in a statement on Friday.  

Since the Israeli military began its offensive in Rafah on May 6, over 630,000
people were forced to flee, UNRWA said on Friday, with many moving to Deir
Al-Balah and Khan Younis.

On Thursday, UN emergency relief chief Martin Griffiths described the situation
as “deeply tragic” as he warned about food running out in southern Gaza.

“(A)ll the predictions that so many people, including us, but so many others,
member states and society have made about the consequences of an operation in
Rafah are coming true,” he added.

Meanwhile, trucks carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza have begun moving ashore on
Friday morning via a temporary pier built by the US military, according to a
statement from US Central Command (CENTCOM). 

Aid is moved on the pier to a facility in Gaza, after which WFP helps deliver
the aid to other agencies or distribute it, a UN official told CNN.
