Israeli police block Jewish activists from delivering aid to Gaza (Middle East Monitor, 2024-03-08)
"Israeli police blocked a convoy of humanitarian aid organised by Jewish activists from entering Gaza at the Kerem Shalom crossing."

Israelis criticize a local NGO for bringing aid to Gaza: ‘Aren’t you Jews?’ (El País, 2024-03-14)
