US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce says, “An important announcement regarding the entry of aid to Gaza will be issued in the next few days, and there is very good news.”
A source familiar with the matter tells The Times of Israel that the announcement will be about the establishment of a new international foundation that will help manage the resumption of aid into Gaza.
However, the source says there is still significant planning that hasn’t been finalized.
The heads of the UN and international organizations currently operating in Gaza issued a joint statement earlier this week, asserting that they won’t cooperate with this new Israeli initiative, arguing that it doesn’t adequately address the humanitarian crisis and weaponizes aid at the expense of civilians.
Without cooperation from at least some of the international organizations currently operating in Gaza, it will likely be difficult for the plan to succeed.
