Who could be against Gazans receiving aid in a civil, organized manner, given to each family according to family members?
The UN, UNRWA, Hamas and Europeans. Sound like a lot of people were making money and control from UN aid? Sure does!
Hamas and its allies are furious over the new U.S.-Israel humanitarian aid system, which bypasses the terror group entirely and delivers food, medical supplies, and shelter directly to Gaza’s civilians. But it’s not just about control—Hamas is also losing a massive source of income.
For months, Hamas pocketed millions by stealing UN aid trucks, then selling the goods at inflated prices in Gaza’s black market. Desperate Gazans were forced to pay cash—or show political loyalty—to receive what should have been free. With the new plan, Hamas is cut out, and the people can finally get help without fear or favoritism.
Israeli and U.S. officials are working with vetted NGOs and regional partners to ensure aid reaches those in need. Even the UN, which had long enabled Hamas' control over aid deliveries, is now cooperating—acknowledging the need for a better, safer system.
But Hamas isn’t taking it lightly. Security officials warn that the terror group will do anything to stop this aid—including violence against its own people.
There are credible fears Hamas operatives may shoot at aid convoys or even open fire on Gazans who try to collect supplies from U.S.-Israeli designated zones, just to intimidate them and disrupt the plan.
Israel says Hamas’ reaction proves its real agenda: keeping Gaza dependent and controlled, not protected. “This is about power and profit,” said an Israeli official. “And they’re willing to shoot their own people to keep both.”
With the new system in place, Gazans can finally receive aid without paying a price to Hamas—and that may be the beginning of a serious shift on the ground.
