According to the report, the government approved the transfer of NIS 700 million (some $280 million) last month to an unclear source, identified by the government only as “the defense establishment.”

Citing unnamed officials, Kan reported that the money was being used to fund the new aid mechanism, run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and that the decision to transfer the funds was made under the radar in an attempt to keep the public from finding out.

The Israel- and US-backed GHF began operating in Gaza late last month. At the same time, the organization and US officials have maintained that it is an independent and neutral body.

    GHF seems to be a way get a large number of Palestinians in one place. Force them to wait exorbitant amouts of time “for security”. Then when the crowd eventually loses patience and rushes the “aid station” shoot them. All in lieu of actual humanitarian aid by reputable organizations.

      and once they’re all dead, the zionazis (nazionists?) can just pack up the operation and repeat it elsewhere! PROFIT!

      This. All it is, apart from being a fig leaf over their starvation of a civilian population and another excuse to keep out aid agencies, is just another cruel and unusual way to torment and kill more people.
