" Contrary to the Senator's statement, Israel is acting in full accordance with international law. The humanitarian condition in Gaza is constantly monitored and large quantities of aid were delivered. Whenever it becomes necessary to allow additional aid, it must be ensured that it does not pass through Hamas, which exploits humanitarian aid to maintain control over the civilian population and to profit at their expense—profits that fund and sustain terror infrastructure used to target IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians. We urge the international community and relevant actors, to guarantee that future aid bypasses Hamas and is delivered directly and securely to the population. It is unfortunate that the honorable Senator has learned nothing from the lessons of October 7 and the atrocities committed by Hamas against Israeli citizens and the Jewish people. A terrorist organization that openly calls for the annihilation of the State of Israel and the Jewish people—and which brutally murdered the Bibas children even during captivity, simply because they were Jewish—must never be allowed to rule Gaza or endanger Israel and the free world again. It is the responsibility of Israel’s leadership and of the Israeli people to ensure such horrors are never repeated—and that is exactly what we are doing. We are grateful to our great friend, the United States, for standing by Israel, understanding the reality on the ground, and supporting our right to self-defense in the face of the hypocrisy of some international bodies."
As we've seen ample evidence of Hamas "stealing" aid shipments for themselves or for resale at a high mark up, it seems both reasonable and critical that any aid going into Gaza actually go to the people, not to Hamas, This, of course, should remove UNRWA from the process entirely.
