Gaza Humanitarian Foundation begins work amid threats from Hamas

[Mountainguy]

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says it commenced operations in Gaza today, delivering truckloads of food to newly established distribution sites, from which the supplies were then distributed to a number of Palestinians.

The announcement follows Hebrew media reports claiming that the US- and Israel-backed GHF did not manage to begin operating in Gaza today as initially planned.

The foundation also condemns what it says have been Hamas death threats against aid groups who have agreed to cooperate with GHF, as well as efforts to block Gazans from reaching its distribution sites.

“It is clear that Hamas is threatened by this new operating model, and will do everything in its power to see it fail,” GHF says.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-may-26-2025/

Hamas doesn't like aid that it can't steal and divert to its fighters. It doesn't like not being able to use hungry Gazans as propaganda either.

[Eko]

1. Also from that article.

GHF also announces that John Acree has been named its interim executive director, after its previous chief resigned yesterday and indicated that Israeli restrictions were preventing the initiative from being able to adhere to humanitarian principles.

The GHF still needs support and cooperation from existing humanitarian organizations, as it seeks to gain credibility on the ground. That backing has yet to come, though, with the UN and other international organizations in Gaza vowing not to cooperate with the GHF, arguing that its aid initiative violates humanitarian principles by requiring Gazans to walk long distances in order to retrieve aid and limiting distribution to southern Gaza, in what would forcibly displace the Palestinian population.

[Mountainguy]

2. Again, see threats and propaganda

Many of those "aid organizations" are extensions of Hamas, built entirely to funnel aid to them and control the population. Others who may want to work with GHF are being given death threats if they do.

[AloeVera]

3. Death threats? Sounds serious.

Got any links?

[Mountainguy]

4. How about the one I already posted?

[AloeVera]

37. In other words, a new iteration of "IDF says..."

N/T

[Mountainguy]

7. And yeah, death threats from bloodthirsty killers

is something that you might consider "serious"

[Beastly Boy]

28. Links to death threats?

Surely they are being recorded by the perpetrators and forwarded to BBC!

[Mountainguy]

40. Just the latest way to defend hamas

Refute anything said about them that doesn't have video, audio, satellite, eye witness, and written acknowledgement from hamas themselves that it happened.

[Eko]

5. Aid organizations are extensions of Hamas?

Built entirely to funnel aid to them and control the population?. Ok, I'm open to it. What evidence do you have for that? When I do a google search for "aid organizations are extensions of Hamas" it comes up pretty empty so I'm sure you will share what info you have on that.
Remember the claim.
-They are extensions of Hamas
-Built entirely to funnel aid to them and control the population.

Lets see some proof for those claims.

[Mountainguy]

6. You mean like the UNRWA?

https://thehill.com/opinion/4947340-unrwa-hamas-leader-sinwar/

How about UNICEF sending money to Gaza that they were aware was being funneled to Hamas?

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-855453

[Eko]

8. Ha Ha,

Did you forget to see the big ol Opinion at the top of your first link? You are using an opinion article as facts? Too funny.
And as for your second link "underscores that governments may know that the money might also be inadvertently used for terrorist activity"
"May" and "Might".
I bow to your awesome evidence.

12. Jeeze, 1st one is from the IDF, second title says Israel says,

Im not going to go through them all but I wait with baited breath for you prove this still.
-They are extensions of Hamas
-Built entirely to funnel aid to them and control the population.
So far even if you believe all the opinions you offered they only show that 1. hamas gets some of the aid and 2. Some of the people in the aid agencies may have ties to hamas. For 2 the people they hire are from the area quite a bit and its no suprise that they have ties to the government of where they live. None of that shows that they are extensions of hamas and built entirely to funnel aid to them.

[Eko]

15. And the title of your last article

UN staff fired over possible links to 7 October attack
Yet another slam dunk.

[Eko]

9. And the author of the second article said this.

"The UN wants to keep Hamas in power to maintain its war on Israel."

Link to tweet

They seem really right wing so Im not sure they are a good source for getting your evidence which in the end is just their opinion. One far right of dumps it seems like as well.

[Mountainguy]

11. The article is about a British document showing the connections

There are other sources for it. But it seems like you just don't like the information.

[Eko]

13. Did you see the document?

You just going to believe what someone tells you and accept that as evidence?

[Eko]

14. Lets not forget that in the very first paragraph in the second article it states

"underscores that governments may know that the money might also be inadvertently used for terrorist activity"
Sounds like a slam dunk.

[Mountainguy]

17. How does a group work in Gaza

Without working with Hamas?

How is it that Hamas continues to have access to food and fuel?

Why is it that armed Hamas terrorists are seen at ever distribution sites?

But go on, attack the information.

[Eko]

19. Questions are not evidence. But here I will answer your questions.

How does a group work in Gaza Without working with Hamas?
Most of hamas is hiding but even so,, if an aid group is working with hamas by telling them the route they are taking to bring in food so they wont get attacked by hamas inadvertently are these aid groups now part of hamas?

How is it that Hamas continues to have access to food and fuel?
They take it. Aid groups dont normally go around armed and looking for fights so if hamas comes in to steal some there is not much they can do.

Why is it that armed Hamas terrorists are seen at ever distribution sites?
I am assuming you mean "every". That is a mighty hard claim to prove but lets just say they are seen at some sites. You can go back to your second question and my answer for the solution.

[Mountainguy]

21. Hiding?

Saw plenty of them at the hostage transfer/propaganda rallies

Like cochroaches. They scurry in the light but they are there

[AloeVera]

16. Did you see THIS??

Not much shocks me these days, but THIS?

The NYT has revealed GHF is not so neutral or independent. The Times of Israel has a good summary and our pro-Israel friends may find it more credible so I've chosen that link.

GHF is a "brainchild" of Israeli venture capitalists, an Israeli cabinet member, people with ties to that paragon of humanitarianism COGAT, and even the Office of Netanyahu. Qu'elle surprise.

Throw in an ex-CIA guy who trained the Contra right-wing militias as the preferred contractor, a business model based on fundraising(!) and you have the makings of some great financial "opportunities". At the expense of starving and broken Palestinians of course.

Sources told the outlet that the process appeared pre-decided in favor of Reilly’s company and that the Prime Minister’s Office, especially Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a key Netanyahu confidant, played a central role in pushing it forward.

Businessman Shlomi Fogel, also a Netanyahu confidant, was also named in connection but has denied involvement.

Many within the defense establishment suspect personal and financial motives may be driving the operation, given the lack of transparency and the exclusion of official oversight bodies, Haaretz reported.

Unclear origins, mysterious funding

Another key revelation of The New York Times report was that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was registered in the US, not Switzerland, as previously believed.

Two entities – GHF and the private security firm S.R.S. – were registered in November 2024 by associates of Reilly.

GHF, led by Jake Wood, will supposedly raise funds and hire S.R.S. to secure food distribution. Though Wood said the two groups now operate independently, they were registered by the same US lawyer and shared a spokeswoman until recently.

[Mountainguy]

18. And yet

They are the only group delivering aid without Hamas.

[Eko]

20. Good for them. How much aid have they delivered?

Was it this many?

[Mountainguy]

23. Didn't want to use this picture?

And they started delivering today....

Do you have evidence that they aren't????

[Eko]

25. My apologies, I meant how much has been

Distributed to the people of Gaza. That is what matters.

[AloeVera]

22. No. WFP and others were doing it.

They said theft was insignificant, if any. Who else would know better? Looting by armed criminal gangs and starving civilians is a bigger problem that Israel refuses to address.

GHF hasn't delivered anything much yet. When it does, weakened from hunger people will have to walk for miles, pass through military zones and checkpoints with "friendly" IDF soldiers ("mistakes" will be made) and walk back with meager rations for the entire family. Many will not get aid at all. The whole point of "vetting".

This is not humanitarianism. It's an evil scheme with a not-so-hidden agenda.

A few people will get rich(er) and more Palestinian kids will look like skeletons or worse.

[Nanjeanne]

24. More about the aid process and organization running it

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/27/gaza-humanitarian-foundation-ghf-aid-operation]

The organisation is made up of former humanitarian, government and military officials. It has said its distribution points will be guarded by private security firms and that the aid would reach a million Palestinians – around half of Gaza’s population – by the end of the week.

The new operation will rely on four major distribution centres in southern Gaza that will screen families for involvement with Hamas militants, potentially using facial recognition or biometric technology, according to aid officials.

But many details of how the operation will work remain unexplained, and it was not immediately clear whether aid groups that have refused to cooperate with the foundation would still be able to send in trucks.

Hamas condemned the new system, saying it would “replace order with chaos, enforce a policy of engineered starvation of Palestinian civilians, and use food as a weapon during wartime.“

With food critically short after a nearly three-month blockade, Israel has faced a mounting international outcry this, including from western allies, as it launched a new offensive in Gaza, already largely destroyed by Israeli bombardment and where the population of 2 million is at risk of famine.

Under international pressure, Israel began allowing a trickle of humanitarian aid into Gaza last week.

More info in the Guardian article.

How Netanyahu's Office Chose a U.S. Firm With No Aid Experience to Run Gaza Food Project Behind Israeli Army's Back

Without a tender or proper procedure, a team led by the prime minister's military secretary recruited an obscure, inexperienced company to coordinate humanitarian operations in Gaza. Though the company presents itself as American, Israeli figures are also involved – and many questions remain unanswered

And more…
https://archive.is/R6b53]

Two little-known firms, the Safe Reach Solutions (SRS) logistics company and the UG Solutions private security company, will publicly assist the newly established Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and deliver aid amid increasing global outrage surrounding Israel's failures to alleviate the crisis.

SRS, which was only publicly launched in January 2025, drafted operational plans for the Netzarim corridor between north and south Gaza amid the cease-fire earlier this year. Their presence was jointly selected by the U.S., Egypt and Qatar, though both Israel and Hamas signed off on their involvement. Details surrounding its founding and funding remain opaque, though previous reporting from Jack Poulson indicated it is a shell company for Wyoming-based wealth management firm Two Ocean Trust LLC.

SRS CEO Phil Reilly spent 29 years at the CIA, including serving as chief of station in Afghanistan, and served in the U.S. Army Special Forces before that. Reilly played a major role in the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden, and was recently featured in a Netflix documentary on the matter.

Reilly also served as senior vice president of special activities for Constellis, a private military contractor formed after Academi merged with fellow private security company Triple Canopy. Academi was the rebranded Blackwater, which is perhaps the most notorious example of a private security company wantonly using force in a war zone – as it became a household name after a massacre committed by its employees in Iraq in 2007.

26. If Hamas were stealing aid, Israel would be providing video evidence.

There are surveillance drones all over Gaza. But no such videos presented so far. Hmmm.

Not one aid agency has said Hamas looting aid is an issue. Hmmm.

There is theft and looting by criminal gangs of powerful families. Not so strange since Israel killed off all the policemen. What is strange is that Israel does nothing about that, either. Would be so easy to solve with such a powerful military.

Could it be that Israel turns a blind eye or even encourages the looting? Could it be to cause chaos in the aid delivery system that works well given the circumstances - while blaming Hamas' non-existent or insignificant stealing - and then to use that as justification for dismantling it?

The plan to provide militarized, "humanitarian" aid through the shady GHF (see post # 16) seems designed to herd starving Palestinians into southern Gaza, ready for their ethnic cleansing via the Sinai.

[Beastly Boy]

27. That's a good one. Israel doesnt provide classified military surveillance footage on demand, ergo no stealing!

The agency says there is stealing and death threats but they didn't say it's a problem, ergo no problem with stealing and death threats!

Theft and looting by powerful criminal gangs, ergo no theft and looting by Hamas!

Israel killed off all the policemen who were shooting at them, ergo there is no Hamas looting!

Israel does nothing about looting, ergo no Hamas looting!

Could it be that Israel turns a blind eye to looting and death threats or even encourages the looting while Hamas is not looting?

Could it be that Hamas, the most notorious looter in Gaza, is engaged in non-existent or insignificant stealing while managing to sustain and arm the biggest gang in Gaza numbering in tens of thousands?

Hell yeah! After all, providing humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians shows irrefutable evidence of intent to commit ethnic cleansing... via the Sinai!

What's next, claiming Hamas doesn't hold any Israeli hostages in Gaza because Israel didn't provide any videos of them?

[Mountainguy]

31. The levels people will go to

to deny the obvious while also believing as gospel the word of a far-right islamofascist regime is astounding.

[moniss]

29. According to Reuters Hamas itself

took action against 4 of it's people who looted and interfered with aid distribution. Dated 05/26/25.

30. Hamas say

"We took care of it. Trust us, bro"

[Mountainguy]

32. And nothing in that article

says the people executed were "it's people." Instead it sounds like killed people who were trying to take the supplies that Hamas wanted for itself. The security forces they talk about are Hamas. Them guarding the aide trucks is like the fox guarding the hen house.

[moniss]

33. I tthink it's foolish for people to think that the only groups

in Gaza with guns are either IDF or Hamas. There are off-shoot groups and gangs as well. Something smells really bad about the "new" aid group when their director quits after just a few weeks citing lack of independence and neutrality. Incorporated in Switzerland. Somewhere in all of this I get a feeling someone is going to be profiting from this "new" organization.

[moniss]

42. Yes I saw the NYT article after my post and

I always felt that this was an effort to remove the UN in any form from anything to do with Gaza. Because of the US veto it doesn't matter about anything the UN wants because the US will nullify anything. So the powers behind this group are effectively wresting jurisdiction from the UN by usurping them. The right of return etc. will never be heeded by these powers and they will do anything and everything to "move on" from their broken promises just as they have always done. People need to remember that if Israel annexes Gaza, which is likely in the coming months, they also get the Gaza gas fields out in the sea. They can nullify any previous agreements for development of those fields.

That would leave the West Bank area and I believe Netanyahu will then turn and begin to claim things like "Jordan isn't doing enough", "arms are coming through Jordan", "Jordan isn't living up to it's peace agreement" etc. Then the IDF will push in and Netanyahu will claim they are having problems of security and use it as a push to take the East Bank as well which has always been a long time desire of the rabid right in Israel. As in Lebanon and in Syria.

The Western media, really even in the Middle Eastern media as well, doesn't speak about these long term stated desires when they report about Lebanon for example. It is astounding to watch the so called journalists and commentators go on day after day talking about the ceasefire in Lebanon which is a ceasefire on one side only while the other keeps attacking and not see the absurdity of using the word. The supposed UN force/committee is once again hamstrung with restraints and has recently complained of being fired upon by the IDF. The Lebanese military has also complained about taking fire. But all we see are brief reports in the media of the occurrence and then.........nothing. Just like we infrequently now ever see reporting about abuse in the prisons. Everybody knows nothing will come of it. In fact the ones like Smotrich and Ben-Givr will hail the abusers.

During the long nightmare of Vietnam it became so familiar to hear the media read the daily or weekly casualty figures that the words faded before the echo died. 200 on our side 2000 on theirs or was it 150 and 2500? The numbers blurred even as they were spoken. It just fell into a huge, dark, evil abyss of sameness for so many as they felt powerless to make it stop. We are there now again for Gaza and day after day the reports of 15, 30, 50 or this school or hospital or this journalist, relief official, medical personnel, babies, women, toddlers, old men etc. and it rolls on and then the gasp that the world had when the toll hit 25,000 is made once again when the number became 35,000 and now the number goes over 53,000 and the number gasping is less.

All while governments wag their finger and speak words that also fall into the huge, dark, evil, abyss of sameness.

[AloeVera]

45. Desensitization to injustice and horrible deaths of innocents comes from a feeling of powerlessness.

It's akin to a trauma response of dissociation. It's a win for the abusers, aggressors and war criminals.

Western leaders have belatedly stumbled upon the truth of what ordinary people around the world have known for nearly 19 months. That they could not have known this of course is absurd. They all knew. But now the criminality and unjust suffering is so brazen - even Ehud Olmert, ex-Israeli PM wrote an opinion piece in Haaretz's saying "yes, Israel is committing war crimes" - that they finally decided they could no longer cover for it. Their lack of action to stop the genocide is another reason people have become dismayed and shocked to the point of trauma - the world that they thought they knew, where democracies stood up to war criminals and rogue nations, was a mirage. The world doesn't work that way. That at least is how I feel.

But you are probably right. Finger-wagging and words falling into the abyss of sameness. And yet... there must still be hope this will be ended and that NEVER again somehow becomes universal in some utopian future.

Absolutely agree with you about Israel's goals re expansion, land/resource theft and conquest of the East Bank. Interesting how you gamed it out and I agree because historical precedents bear it out, where pretexts and manipulation of events are the well-worn methods.

Western media doesn't know what to do with events that go so deeply against the grain of the narrative they've been carrying for 77 years... And their historical "knowledge" is shaped by that narrative, as is their credulity and lack of curiosity.

I've included Omert's opinion piece. It's actually a bit shocking, coming from an ex-Israeli PM.

‘Hateful Material’: EU Demands Freeze of Palestinian Education Aid Over Antisemitic Textbooks

The European Parliament on Wednesday passed a resolution calling on the European Commission to suspend aid to the Palestinian Authority’s educational system until antisemitic and violent themes are removed from textbooks issued to K-12 students.

--snip--

“The Palestinian Authority lobbied hard in Brussels against this resolution, but found itself up against the hard reality of its hateful school curriculum and the anger and frustration of European Parliament members with a Palestinian national strategy of inciting schoolchildren to hate and violence on their dime, year after year,” CEO Marcus Sheff of Impact-se, which has issued numerous reports on antisemitism and incitement in Palestinian textbooks, said in a press release shared with The Algemeiner. “This strategy has murderous consequences. The resolution will also be noted at the European Commission and by Commissioner Varhelyi, who stated last week that EU funds can no longer be used to incite violence against Israel.” The resolution marked the fourth year in the row that the EU has demanded immediate changes to Palestinian curriculum, which experts and lawmakers have described as the most antisemitic in the region and a factor protracting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It also followed assurances by European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi, whose office supervises aid to the Palestinian Authority, to Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen that the EU will not fund terror groups and programs inciting violence against Israel.

The EU parliament passed a similar measure in December, declaring that PA curriculum is in tension with European values. The previous year, in May 2021, the body froze aid to the Palestinian Authority for 13 months. Aid resumed the following January, with former European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen insisting that “all the difficulties are gone.” The Palestinian Authority never reformed its educational system, however, according to several reports by Impact-se, which has continued to find, for example, grammar lessons saying “The Palestinians sacrifice their blood to liberate Jerusalem” and Arabic Drill Cards for 9th graders that say, “When the [Muslim] nation is negligent in protecting al-Aqsa, then the Jews will dare to defile it.” Israel also does not appear on any maps shown to students.

Other examples of antisemitic material provided to children living in territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority include study cards for eleventh graders accusing Jews of being “in control of global events through financial power,” assignments instructing seventh graders to describe Israeli soldiers as “Satan’s aides,” and a textbook chapter imploring Muslims to “liberate” the Al-Aqsa Mosque, according to Israeli education watchdog Impact-se.

The feeling of powerlessness comes from the intentionally bogus expectations built up by this pervasive propaganda campaign.

38. "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation"

What despicable Orwellian doublespeak for such meager, incomplete rations at such a high personal cost. "Forced Displacement Foundation" is more appropriate.

Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that under the aid mechanism, Gaza’s population would eventually be moved to a “sterile zone” in Gaza’s far south. He said it was for their protection while Israeli forces fight Hamas elsewhere. He also said once the Palestinians enter the area, “they don’t necessarily go back.”

Israel also says that after Hamas is defeated, it will implement a plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump to relocate the territory’s population outside Gaza, though it portrays migration as “voluntary.” The Palestinians, along with nearly all of the international community, have rejected the idea.

A US-backed foundation tasked with supplying aid to Gaza said it had begun operations on Monday, delivering truckloads of food to designated distribution sites a day after its executive director resigned because the operation could not fulfil its mission in a way that adhered to “humanitarian principles”.

The aid plan, which has been endorsed by Israel but rejected by the UN, unfolded amid uncertainty about whether any assistance had actually reached civilians.
