Israel has no intention of ending Gaza aid crisis: US-based aid contractor

The Israeli regime’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has no intention of alleviating the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, a US-Israeli businessman has said.

The businessman described the Israeli regime’s aid plan as a “deception.”

Following more than two months of Israel’s total blockade on humanitarian aid to Gaza, the regime claimed it was allowing limited shipments of assistance through US-based security contractors.

But Moti Kahana, head of the logistics firm GDC, which was initially chosen to manage the distribution of desperately needed aid in Gaza, told Radio Al-Nas that his firm was “suddenly replaced by a fake company claiming to be American, when in fact it is affiliated with the Israeli occupation.”

Calling the arrangement an “Israeli deception,” Kahana said Netanyahu’s regime “has no intention of solving the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and is working to keep chaos ongoing while people die every day.”

Israeli media also confirmed on Sunday that Netanyahu selected an “obscure” and “inexperienced” US firm to manage aid delivery, without the knowledge or input of Israeli agencies.

UN agencies and experienced aid groups, which have overseen the distribution of food aid in the territory, have repeatedly warned that the regime’s plan appears to be a scheme to “weaponize” aid. 

On Saturday, Hamas reiterated that despite Israel’s public claims of allowing aid into Gaza, the reality on the ground is far different. Only about 100 trucks of aid have entered recently, less than 1 percent of what is urgently required, deepening the humanitarian catastrophe for Gaza’s civilians.  

According to aid organizations, dozens of aid trucks remain stranded at crossings or are rerouted onto unsafe routes by Israeli forces. Several reports suggest some convoys have been targeted by Israeli drones or intercepted by armed groups inside Gaza.
