Hamas is Furious: Israel and U.S. Cut Them Out of Gaza Aid

Hamas has publicly condemned what it calls Israel's plan to "starve" Gazans into submission by cutting off humanitarian aid and called on the world to say "No" to the plan.

In yet another effort to secure continued aid, Hamas has issued a call on the world to condemn Prime Minister Netanyahu's cessation of the flow of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, calling it a plan to "starve" the Palestinians in Gaza into submission.

Following the end of the first stage of the previous hostage deal, in which dozens of live hostages were released in exchange for Palestinian terrorists and hundreds of trucks of aid, the Israeli government ended the flow of supplies into the Strip. The aim is to prevent Hamas from stealing aid to either provide for their terrorists or resell it to Palestinians to stay financially afloat.

Instead, Israel plans to work with the United States to establish designated aid stations that would independently serve hundreds of thousands of Palestinians each. The aid would be provided by the Gaza Humanitarian Fund established by the United States, and would only be indirectly secured by the IDF.
