It seems that Israel believes that its war targets are approaching, as Gaza swings to hunger

Despite the tremendous criticism from abroad, Israel appears to believe that the war strategy in Gaza is working slowly thanks to the mysterious new Gaza Human Foundation’s efforts (GHF).

Now two weeks after its operations, GHF has acquired the delivery of humanitarian supplies to the besieged pocket, but increasingly at a terrible cost.

More than 110 people have been killed in Gaza aid distribution sites. some, He appearsThey shot the Israeli soldiers. I am free By unknown gunmen. Others are still killed in the chaos that are expected to starve to obtain limited supplies.

A New analysis Through the crisis group, a non -governmental organization that studies global conflicts concludes that the Israeli army has turned Gaza into a “giant hunger experience” and creates conditions for the forced encouragement of its inhabitants by keeping people feeding enough to survive, but hungry enough to rebel against Hamas.

“Israel uses food as a war weapon,” reports author Robert Plust told CBC News.

“One hundred percent of Gaza is facing life -threatening food insecurity,” he said. “There are best practices that (Israel) can follow, but they chose not to follow it.”

Weakening Hamas

In modern data, the Israeli army has Shown It believes Its tactics weakened the grip of the armed group on the region, as it is clear that the Palestinians are ready to ignore Hamas’s directives not to take the dining boxes from GHF, as well as holding demonstrations in the streets against the armed group.

Meanwhile, Israeli politicians such as Finance Minister Bezel Soutrich – who is on Tuesday It was approved by the Canada government – Say that the country is moving forward in New section To facilitate the “voluntary immigration” of the Palestinians from Gaza.

A group of Western relief agencies I accused Israel From the use of GHF to deliberately remove the Palestinians from their homes in order to be closer to the aid distribution centers, as it will be easier to get them out of Gaza permanently.

Unlike the traditional humanitarian agencies that worked in Gaza – which transport aid to warehouses and distribute food, fuel and medicine to societies throughout the region – GHF In several days It only runs two points for distribution.

The Palestinians say that this forced families to make long and dangerous trips through dangerous war areas for food.

Mohamed Salem told the CBC Freelance Video in Gaza earlier this week that he walked throughout his home in Gaza City and then waited for hours to try to obtain funds for his family – only to leave empty -handed.

“We came here for nothing, except that we shoot and wound,” he said.

Another man, Mohamed Abdel -Bad, says he needs to get food for ten family members, but he was only able to a few bags of beans, lentils and salt.

Reham Jaafari, with women’s work aid, called on women’s limited efforts to be a “media trick”.

“Israel and the United States want to tell the world that they provide food for people … but people die,” she said from her base in Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

On a quick visit to London last Friday, the Foreign Minister of Canada did not respond directly to a question about GHF and her work, but it seems that he admits that the food situation in Gaza is still insufficient.

She said: “More humanitarian assistance, especially food, must enter Gaza and Canada will continue to work with our allies to ensure the presence of dignity and security for the Israelis and the Palestinians alike.”

The government of Israel and GHF strongly refute any accusation that they are deliberately limited to food to the region.

In a post on X, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel wrote: “Hundreds of trucks. Millions of meals. Every day, one of the largest humanitarian aids in the world is currently reaching the people of Gaza – empowering Israel.”

The post was accompanied by pictures of people with food boxes, and they are supposed to return to their families.

“Smiles do not lie. Hamas is doing.”

In a statement by CBC News, GHF also boasted about its success in the first two weeks.

“Until now, we have handed over more than 11 million meals to the people of Gaza. Before our operations began, there was no safe and reliable way for civilians to receive food,” he said.

“Our food fills this vacuum – get the food directly for those who need it more.”

GHF acquired aid in Gaza at the end of May, after Israel lifted the siege for about three months in the region.

Many UN and private agencies that have already been distributed in Gaza have previously expressed a strong willingness to resume their work, but the government of Israel refused.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu He claimed again and again Hamas was stealing or turning huge amounts of food aid, a claim that international agencies say is exaggerated.

However, the Crisis Group report says that, less than a month ago, the United Nations presented a “comprehensive” plan that dealt with security concerns of Israel, with the Criphidation of QR; Closed trucks, GPS tracking; The United Nations monitors each crossing and other precautions. It says approximately 9,000 truck loads of aid that was “sitting” in Egypt and Jordan. Israel did not respond to the proposal.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Netanyahu office did not respond to the additional questions, which the government press office said was sent.

Those who specifically provide money to pay the price of GHF meals as well. The statement presented by the group said it would not reveal its financing.

The government of Israel says it does not stand on the laws of the institution, although some Reports in the Israeli media I suggested otherwise.

GHF was registered in Switzerland and the American state of Dilayer, although the BBC correspondent tried it Trace The employees behind the institution were unable to make significant progress.

“Nobody wanders in money, partly because of political and moral issues, but I think they may also care about legal issues,” Pleisher said.

International Criminal Court Arrest For Netanyahu in November, he accused him of using hunger as a means of war and targeting Palestinian civilians.

War targets

The ceasefire talks from Hamas and Israeli negotiators were unable to end the conflict.

The armed group – which attacked the societies in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killed more than 1,200 people – Israel ended its war in Gaza and withdrew its forces from the region.

Netanyahu says that the goals of the Israel war are still unchanged: the defeat of Hamas, the restoration of the remaining 25 hostages or so from Gaza, and to ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future.

However, even if the Israeli army feels that its targets are approaching, it is not clear the time when the GHF operations will be sustainable.

The group of crises report confirms that, technically, the Gaza population may not be in a state of starvation, but most people are still suffering from a lack of closure.

The report indicates that the Israeli army has set the threshold to avoid malnutrition at 2200 calories per person – while GHF promised to provide only 1750.

In such a state, Blecher, author of the report, says that Gaza residents cannot survive indefinitely.

“50,000 people (in Gaza) were killed in the war, it is something that has earned Israel a lot of enmity around the world,” he said.

“But killing complications of that, for example, the cholera epidemic strikes, I think this means something completely different for Israel to move forward.”
