U.S. to Push Countries to Fund Gaza Aid Centers Once They Demonstrate Results
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - The Trump administration plans to renew its push for countries and international organizations to fund the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation once its new aid distribution initiative is proven successful, a U.S. official said Tuesday. "The United States is a leader in innovation and once GHF works, others will want to share in its success," the official said. The official insisted that the incident involving the overrun of one of GHF's Rafah distribution sites by thousands of Palestinians on Tuesday lasted for about 20 minutes. A senior administration official said, "Aid is getting to the people in need, and through their secure distribution system, Israel is kept safe and Hamas empty-handed....The UN and other aid agencies were wrong to criticize. These organizations echoed Hamas talking points rather than praising those who are delivering results. GHF is a threat to Hamas's longstanding system of looting the assistance intended for the people of Gaza."
