The United States and Israel are working behind the scenes to block a United Nations and European-led initiative aimed at dismantling the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), Ynet learned Sunday. The initiative came after a closed session of the UN Security Council held on Friday, after which the UN reportedly instructed its agencies and affiliated organizations to cease all cooperation with the foundation.

“Some organizations are threatening not to cooperate with the foundation and are spreading lies about indiscriminate fire and drug distribution, all to derail this initiative. If this were going through UN channels, which have shown support for Hamas, it would be embraced quietly. This isn’t about concern for Gaza—it’s pure double standards,” he also said.

yeah, they set up "aid" sites, they give them some flour then the occupation forces comes in and shoots people, a few times they used tanks to kill people, so far they've killed 500 people this way

Oh yes, I've been well aware of Western tactics in Palestine since the late nineties. Kind of embarrassing I wasn't paying attention before then.
