DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel announced Sunday it will allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza after a nearly three-month blockade, days after global experts on food security warned of famine. ... It was not immediately clear when aid would enter Gaza, or how. The Israeli military body in charge of overseeing aid did not comment. Israel has been trying to impose a new aid system, despite objections by aid workers. Netanyahu said Israel would work to ensure that aid does not reach militants.

However, US officials said they do not have evidence to support Israel's claims.

Oh look, fresh news:

US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said "distribution centres" protected by security contractors would provide food and other supplies to over a million people initially, as part of an effort to prevent Hamas stealing aid.

The Gaza war was triggered by the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which saw about 1,200 people killed and more than 250 taken hostage. Some 59 are still held captive, up to 24 of whom are believed to be alive.

So much for "US officials said they do not have evidence to support Israel’s claims" huh odd

That’s not news of Hamas stealing aid. That’s Mike Huckabee repeating the same Zionist line as you are.

You’re not particularly smart, are you?

Elderly Gazan woman accuses Hamas of stealing aid in rare criticism

No you’re absolutely right, when Hamas aren’t

Traumatized Thai farmers recount horror of Hamas massacre as families wait for news of loved ones held hostage

How about something from a country that isn’t supplying weapons to Israel to kill innocent civilians, or an outlet that isn’t suppressing news about pro-Palestinian protests.

Let’s just end this here. You aren’t interested in anything that doesn’t fit the narrow worldview you’ve been indoctrinated into. There’s no point in me arguing with someone who has no free will of their own, because they’ve given it up to their government.

I pity you, you poor, miserable little thing.

Ah you can only read 1 line at a time, let me help you out:

When asked about Hamas’s responsibility for the safety of civilians, Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook allegedly replied that “it is the responsibility of the United Nations to protect them… [and] it is the responsibility of the occupation to provide them with… services”.[290][291]

On 28 October, The New York Times reported that Hamas had stockpiled food, water, medicine and sanitary products in underground caches, in amounts that would allow it to continue fighting for several months without resupply.[292]

On 12 November, Kan 11 aired a video taken by a Gazan civilian, that appeared to show Hamas policemen beating civilians approaching a truck carrying humanitarian aid for food, before allegedly taking the supplies for themselves.[293]

According to The Algemeiner, an unnamed “Fatah TV anchor” claimed that Hamas killed humanitarian aid workers to “prevent any activity by any [other] party” and “ensure Hamas control over the aid”.[294][295]

On September 13 Israeli Channel 12 news played alleged intercepted recordings purporting to show Hamas operatives discussing how to disperse overflowing Gaza aid that they had seized. In the recordings of radio conversations, an operative says “We have trucks overflowing with goods.” The second operative declines the offer, saying “we have everything. In the meantime, we have no room in the stores.” He then suggests they send the goods to Khan Younis.[302]

The PLO is funded by Israel. Any sources besides Israel?
