By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Corrdespondent Worthy News
GAZA CITY/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Israel said Sunday it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza as part of broader U.S.-backed attempts to force Hamas to release all hostages.

A new letter from Israel’s energy minister to the Israel Electric Corporation told it “to stop selling power” to Gaza.
DEVASTATED AREA
The war has largely devastated the enclave, and generators and solar panels provide some of the power supply.
A ceasefire paused the deadliest and most destructive fighting ever between Israel and Hamas, sparked by the Hamas-led attack IN southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

It was in exchange for the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
Israeli forces have also withdrawn to buffer zones inside Gaza.
Despite the tensions, hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza for the first time since war broke out.
