"Israel" plans to put anti-Hamas Palestinians in charge of aid entries and the Gaza Strip as a whole, a report by the Wall Street Journal reveals, citing Arab and Israeli officials. Consequently, the secret Israeli plot incited backlash in the Israeli War Cabinet and from Hamas leadership, at a crucial time during negotiations for a ceasefire proposal. 

Amid talks with Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, a top Israeli defense official said the goal was to build "regional support for an emerging effort to enlist Palestinian leaders and businessmen who have no links to Hamas in distributing aid."

"Israel's" plot dictates that aid delivered to Gaza by land and sea would be inspected by Israeli forces before entering Gaza, transported to warehouses post-inspection, and then submitted to non-Resistance affiliated Palestinians for distribution. 

Their duties are not limited to aid distribution. "Israel" also plans to grant them authority over the Strip, with the support of rich Arab regimes and their security forces, the WSJ stated. 

In response, the WSJ quoted a Hamas senior official saying, “We will strike with an iron hand against anyone who tampers with the internal front in the Gaza Strip and will not permit the imposition of new rules."

'Israel' deliberately obstructs aid to Gaza

The report also noted that aid deliveries were hampered due to the lack of support from Benjamin Netanyahu, who justified the withholding of aid from Palestinians facing genocide and famine by claiming those who receive aid are affiliated with the Resistance.

While Hamas has not been directly involved in aid distributions in Gaza, "Israel, on the other hand, has consistently arbitrarily impeded aid deliveries and entries into the Strip, expediting the humanitarian crisis within its borders. 

Anti-poverty charity Oxfam accused "Israel" on Monday of intentionally preventing the delivery of aid into the besieged Gaza Strip, in violation of international humanitarian law.

The non-governmental organization said in a report that "Israel" continued to "systematically and deliberately block and undermine any meaningful international humanitarian response" in the Palestinian territory.

"Israeli authorities are not only failing to facilitate the international aid effort but are actively hindering it. We believe that Israel is failing to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide."

Oxfam noted that "unjustifiably inefficient" inspection rules were causing aid trucks trying to get into Gaza to be stuck in queues for 20 days on average.

Moreover, "Israel" assassinated Fayeq Al-Mabhouh, who cooperated with UNRWA and contributed to the attainment of humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza, particularly in the north, and emerged successful with the help of local clans and popular committees.

Al-Mabhouh was staying in Al-Shifa Hospital when Israeli occupation forces stormed the medical complex, demanded his surrender, and then killed him after he refused to succumb to their threats.
