Supporters of Israel argue that reports from Gaza’s Health Ministry, which operates under Hamas, cannot be treated as neutral, and that Israel’s security needs and the fight against Hamas take precedence over such claims.
Supporters of Israel argue that casualty figures from Gaza’s Health Ministry, a body under Hamas-run administration, lack independent verification and reflect a wartime narrative rather than established fact.
Supporters of Israel counter that the humanitarian duty of care runs both ways, arguing that a culture of protecting civilians cannot be upheld while Hamas embeds fighters and weapons within hospitals and ambulances.

Supporters of Israel argue that international law permits strikes on legitimate military targets despite a ceasefire, and that claims from Gaza's Health Ministry—a Hamas-run body—lack independent legal verification.
Supporters of Israel counter that the ceasefire's legal duty to protect civilians rests with Hamas, which controls Rafah access, and that Israel disputes the reported causality behind those deaths absent independent verification.
Supporters of Israel argue that Hamas controls the Health Ministry, so its casualty figures serve a strategic narrative, and that Rafah's opening hinges on security vetting Israel deems non-negotiable.
Supporters of Israel argue that casualty figures from the Hamas-run Health Ministry serve a strategic function, and that Israel weighs crossing concessions against leverage rather than humanitarian urgency.
Supporters of Israel counter that the crossing is a security chokepoint, not a concession to trade; they argue that publicizing deaths is leverage-seeking, and that Israel calibrates access to what its threat assessments and ceasefire terms actually require.
Supporters of Israel argue that the Health Ministry's casualty figures come from a Hamas-run body and cannot be treated as neutral, so moral judgments about the strikes should await independent verification.
Supporters of Israel argue that moral responsibility for Gaza's casualties rests with Hamas, which they say embeds fighters among civilians and patients awaiting care, making Israel's strikes lawful self-defense rather than a moral failing.
Supporters of Israel counter that the moral duty to save lives rests with Hamas, which controls Rafah and could release hostages and halt attacks, so blame for patients dying lies with those who started and perpetuate the war.
Supporters of Israel argue that, under just-war doctrine, strikes targeting militants are defensible even amid a ceasefire, and they maintain that blame for civilian deaths rests with Hamas's use of civilian areas rather than with Israel's conduct.
Supporters of Israel argue that scripture obligates the protection of innocent life and that Israel's actions target combatants, not patients, maintaining that claims from the Hamas-run Health Ministry cannot be taken as reliable without independent verification.
Supporters of Israel counter that Jewish law permits overriding Sabbath and other duties to save lives, yet they argue Hamas's use of Rafah for arms and tunnels turns the crossing into a military target, making the religious duty to protect life inseparable from security control.

Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry invoke a cultural duty of care, arguing that blocking patients from Rafah severs families from medical refuge and violates longstanding humanitarian norms.
Supporters of the Gaza Health Ministry argue that blocking medical evacuations through Rafah violates longstanding humanitarian custom, and they cite the ministry's casualty records as a cultural testimony to suffering.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry counter that dismissing its casualty figures because of Hamas affiliation ignores how the ministry's records have tracked prior conflicts and been cited by international bodies, making provenance a poor reason to discard them.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry argue that blocking patients from leaving via Rafah violates the legal duty under the ceasefire to protect civilians, and they cite the reported deaths of those awaiting treatment abroad as evidence of that breach.
Supporters of the Gaza Health Ministry argue that blocking patients from reaching the Rafah crossing violates legal obligations to permit medical evacuation under a declared ceasefire.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry counter that international humanitarian law still binds an occupying power to protect civilians and medical facilities regardless of Hamas's conduct, so the duty to evacuate does not transfer legal responsibility for harm to patients and staff.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry argue that the Rafah crossing is leverage: by publicizing patients dying abroad, they pressure Israel and mediators to ease movement, framing access as a test of the ceasefire's credibility.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry argue the Rafah demand is leverage, not charity: with patients dying and strikes continuing, forcing Israel to open the crossing shifts blame and pressure onto Israel before mediators.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry counter that Israel's own security veto determines who and what crosses Rafah, so the claim of Hamas spinning the toll is beside the point: the power to open or seal the crossing sits with Israel, not the ministry.
Supporters of the Gaza Health Ministry argue that letting patients die while awaiting treatment abroad is a moral failure, and that opening the Rafah crossing is a humanitarian duty owed to civilians under any ceasefire.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry argue that letal strikes on patients awaiting care abroad violate basic medical neutrality, and that keeping Rafah closed denies the sick a moral duty of safe passage.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry counter that dismissing casualty figures because of who counts them evades the moral duty to weigh each reported death, since verified data from prior conflicts matched the Ministry's counts.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry invoke Islamic teachings that preserving life is a sacred duty, arguing that keeping Rafah open to evacuate patients honors the religious obligation to save souls.
Supporters of Gaza Health Ministry invoke the Islamic duty to preserve life and the sanctity of the sick, arguing that keeping Rafah closed and striking while patients wait for care violates religious teachings on mercy.
