Convincing evidence Israel backed aid convoy looters, historian says

A historian who spent more than a month in Gaza at the turn of the year says he saw "utterly convincing" evidence that Israel supported looters who attacked aid convoys during the conflict. 

…In the book, Filiu describes Israeli military attacks on security personnel protecting aid convoys. These permitted looters to seize huge quantities of food and other supplies destined for desperately needy Palestinians, he writes. Famine threatened parts of Gaza at the time, according to international humanitarian agencies…

Italy to end support for international Gaza flotilla as it nears destination

Italy and Spain deployed navy vessels last week to assist the flotilla, after it was hit by drones armed with stun grenades and irritants in international waters off Greece, but without any intention to engage militarily. 

The Israeli government did not respond to accusations from activists on board the flotilla who said that it was behind last week's attacks, but it has vowed to use any means to prevent the boats from reaching Gaza, arguing that its blockade is legal as part of its war against Hamas militants...

Israeli naval ships intercept Gaza-bound flotilla

The group has alleged that one vessel within the flotilla was "deliberately rammed at sea" and said additional boats were hit by water cannons. 

"It clearly reveals the extreme lengths to which the occupier will go to ensure Gaza remains starved and isolated," GSF wrote on social media. 

"They will attack a peaceful civilian mission because the success of humanitarian aid means the failure of their siege."…

Opinion | Starvation in Gaza has moved Israel defenders to say enough is enough - The Washington Post

Influential MAGA voices have sounded the alarm, too, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who became the first Republican in Congress to call what's happening in Gaza a "genocide." 

Former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon sees a deeper political shift: "It seems that for the under-30-year-old MAGA base, Israel has almost no support," Bannon told Politico, "and Netanyahu's attempt to save himself politically by dragging America in deeper to another Middle East war has turned off a large swath of older MAGA diehards." 

Though this might be overstating the shift, Bannon is right that Israel is hemorrhaging support among conservatives. Even before the starvation crisis broke through in international media, 50 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning adults younger than 50 said they had an unfavorable view of Israel, up from 35 percent in 2022...

Israel trying to deflect blame for widespread starvation in Gaza

And while Israel has consistently tried to blame Hamas for intercepting food aid, that claim has been undermined by a leaked US assessment, seen by Reuters, which found no evidence of systematic theft by the Palestinian militant group of US-funded humanitarian supplies. 

Examining 156 incidents of theft or loss of US-funded supplies reported by US aid partner organisations between October 2023 and May 2025, it said it found "no reports alleging Hamas" benefited from US-funded supplies. 

Israel has also recently intensified efforts to blame the UN for the problems with aid distribution, citing a "lack of cooperation from the international community and international organisations". Israel's claims are contradicted by clear evidence of its efforts to undermine aid distribution...

Global outcry grows over Israel’s killing of starving civilians in Gaza

The U.S. Will Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Aid - The Atlantic

 Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it. Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, according to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations. Within weeks, two of those sources told me, the food, meant for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, will be ash…
