Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on awe denied a report that says he gave the go-ahead to exempt a shipment of medications for hostages and Gaza civilians from security checks before they enter into Gaza.

‘The prime minister authorized sending the medicines to the hostages but did not deal at all with the security procedures that are set by the IDF and security officials,’ his office says in a statement.

The medicines, provided by Qatar, are set to be delivered to Gaza later in the day under a deal brokered by Doha and France.
