Netanyahu condemns Hamas, thanks US for support after attack on American aid workers in Gaza

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemns an attack by terrorist operatives on American workers at an aid distribution site in Gaza today.

“I wish to extend a speedy recovery to the staff of the American aid foundation who were injured today in the terror attack carried out by Hamas terrorists,” says the premier in a statement from his office, referring to the Israel and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Earlier in the day, GHF reported that two American aid workers were wounded when assailants threw two hand grenades at a distribution site, blaming the attack on “hostile action by Hamas.” The IDF later confirmed that terror operatives threw grenades at a distribution center in Rafah, accusing “terror groups in Gaza” of continuing to sabotage humanitarian efforts, though without naming Hamas directly.

Netanyahu praises the GHF staff, saying they “are doing important work, and I thank them and [US] President [Donald] Trump for their support.”

He adds: “The entire world must stand up and condemn this grave incident, which once again exposes the brutality of Hamas. The United Nations must stop opposing the foundation’s operations and instead work in partnership to ensure it can continue its mission safely for the benefit of Gaza’s residents.”
