Hamas Wants U.S.-Backed Food Foundation Gone “Because It Works
28th July 2025
A large portion of the conversation on the Middle East currently revolves around reports of starvation in Gaza—indeed, this is supposed to be part of the reason France’s Emmanuel Macron is preparing to officially recognise a Palestinian state.
Yet Hamas’ opposition to a humanitarian foundation, which says it has distributed almost 100 million meals in Gaza since late May, appears to have gone largely underreported.
The Wall Street Journal reported late last week that the terror group had the shutting down of this U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) as the “no. 2 item” on its “list of demands in ceasefire negotiations on Thursday.” The paper also quoted an American official who said the GHF has “caused Hamas more fear than anything else has in the past two years.”
Human rights lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky explained that this was because the foundation “works.”
Hamas wants all aid to flow through them, so as to support their iron grip on ‘Palestinians’.
