Florida Congressman Randy Fine’s inflammatory X post, “Release the hostages. Until then, starve away,” has stirred further controversy amid revelations that the United Nations is refusing to cooperate with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S.- and Israel-backed group offering to distribute 2,500 tons of stockpiled food aid in Gaza, per *Townhall* and *The Times of Israel*.
The UN’s rejection of GHF’s assistance, coupled with its dismissal of five proposed safe routes for aid delivery, has fueled arguments that the UN’s inaction is exacerbating Gaza’s famine crisis.
Fine’s remark drawing condemnation from groups like CAIR, who branded it “genocidal.”
Yet, the UN’s refusal to work with GHF, which has delivered 87 million meals since May 2025, has given Fine’s claims ammunition to claim the UN is obstructing solutions. GHF, operating four militarized distribution sites in southern and central Gaza, offered to handle UN aid to bypass alleged Hamas looting, a claim the UN and aid groups like Oxfam reject as unproven.
*The Times of Israel* reports GHF’s spokesperson, Chapin Fay, stating, “We can get their aid into Gaza safely and have offered to help repeatedly, but they continue to reject our offers.” The UN counters that GHF’s system, reliant on armed U.S. contractors and Israeli oversight, violates humanitarian principles of neutrality and puts Palestinians at risk (never mind that Hamas instigates stampedes by stabbing Gazans waiting for food). Just yesterday, Hamas launched a rocket at GHF site, which landed merely 250 meters away. If it landed landed closer, it would have blown Gazans up. But Hamas doesn't care. It's ready to kill every single Gazan for its great war on Israel.
Obviously, the media prefers to believe the tiresome and blatantly false narrative of the "woeful Gazans and Big Evil Israel."
