Washington’s special regional envoy for humanitarian issues David Satterfield denies allegations that Hamas has stolen aid and commercial shipments into Gaza, saying that no Israeli official has presented him or the Biden administration with “specific evidence of diversion or theft of assistance.”
But, he tells an event hosted by the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace that Hamas has been using other aid delivery channels to “shape where and to whom assistance goes.”
