Israel's top diplomat charged Tuesday that humanitarian aid had become the "number one source of revenue" for Hamas, as he defended his government's decision to block all deliveries to Gaza.

"Humanitarian aid became the number one source of income of Hamas in Gaza," Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said. "With that money they use for terror to restore their abilities and to get more young terrorists into their organisation."
