Gaza ceasefire deal would prevent controversial GHF aid group from operating in areas IDF withdraws from, source says

The ceasefire being crafted in Qatar will prevent the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation from operating in areas from which the IDF has withdrawn, a source familiar with the negotiations tells The Times of Israel.

The still-being-negotiated proposal stipulates that only the UN and international organizations that aren’t connected to either Israel or Hamas will be responsible for distributing aid in areas where the IDF is no longer located, the source says, confirming a Channel 12 report.

Israel and Hamas still have to negotiate the exact parameters of the IDF’s withdrawal, which is a major obstacle as Jerusalem wants to remain in much of southern Gaza where it plans to create a “humanitarian city” to which the Strip’s entire population — more than 2 million people — will be herded and prevented from leaving once vetted.
