Amid the ongoing trading of blame for the Gaza humanitarian crisis, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee takes Jerusalem’s side and accuses the UN of being “a tool of Hamas.”
Huckabee points to the large amount of aid that has been amassing on the Gaza side of the border.
The UN says Israel repeatedly denies requests for aid workers to pick up the assistance, while creating conditions that have made it unsafe for that aid to be transported.
“US-based GHF is actually delivering food FOR FREE and SAFELY. UN food is either looted by Hamas or rots in the sun!” Huckabee tweets.
UN food is also distributed for free, but has indeed endured more looting as it is being distributed beyond the militarized zones from which GHF operates.
Moreover, hundreds of Gazans have reportedly still been killed trying to reach the GHF sites over the past two months, as they have been forced to walk long distances, while crossing IDF lines in order to pick up boxes of food.
Here are photos of UN trucks & enough food to feed all of Gaza but it sits rotting! UN is a tool of Hamas! US based GHF is actually delivering food FOR FREE and SAFELY. UN food is either looted by Hamas or rots in the sun! Photos from yesterday. pic.twitter.com/syvtbhxYHJ
