Bowen: Israel's aid measures a gesture to allies horrified by Gaza starvation

The article discusses Israel's recent aid measures for the Gaza Strip, which are seen as a gesture to its allies who were horrified by the starvation and humanitarian crisis in the region. The article suggests that these measures may be a tacit admission by Israel that it needs to do more to address the situation in Gaza, or alternatively, a response to pressure from its allies. The article notes that the aid measures, which include increasing the number of work permits for Gazans and expanding the fishing zone, are relatively modest. It suggests that the moves are likely intended to appease Israel's allies who have been critical of its policies towards Gaza, rather than a significant shift in its approach. The article does not provide a definitive conclusion on the motivations behind Israel's actions, but it highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the pressure Israel faces from its allies to address the situation.
