This sounds like answers a mafia boss would give

Head of controversial new Gaza aid group says he won’t be part of displacing Palestinians, urges UN to participate in plan

“Ultimately, the community is going to face a choice. This is going to be the mechanism by which aid can be distributed in Gaza. Are you willing to participate? The answer is going to be, you know, pretty critical to whether or not this ramps up to sufficiently feed 2.2 million people in a very desperate situation.”

Gaza extortion foundation

Without the support of the major UN agencies, Wood said it is “hard to say” whether his foundation will be able to distribute enough aid to feed Gaza’s population of 2.1 million. He said the foundation currently plans to provide 300 million meals in its first 90 days, which he acknowledged is “not sufficient.”

Already placing the blame for inssuficient aid on the UN, good start

...

Pressed on Israel’s claims that Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid – which Hamas and aid organizations deny – Wood said “it doesn’t really matter.”

“Israel controls access to Gaza, and if, if it is their belief that there is a large percentage of aid that is being interdicted by Hamas and other non-state actors … then we have no choice but to create a mechanism which operates in that construct and in that framing,” Wood said.

Of course you have no choice, Israel's rule is law in the US.

The foundation’s operations will be secured by a private American security contractor, UG Solutions, which also manned a vehicle checkpoint in Gaza during the ceasefire earlier this year. Wood, a US Marine Corps veteran, said the contractors will be responsible for guarding aid trucks from the Gaza border to the distribution sites and will not be involved in distributing the aid to civilians.

Wood said they would be operating “under strict rules of engagement,” which he declined to share for operational security, but said they would abide by international laws and norms.

Just like the IDF claims? International law doesn't allow weaponizing aid, so you're already not abiding by IHL. You're doing the bidding of the genocidal occupation, fully complicit with ethnic cleansing plans.

Two companies have been identified as potential partners in a controversial US plan to distribute food supplies in the Gaza Strip, bypassing UNRWA and other UN agencies, The New Arab's sister site Al-Araby Al-Jadeed has reported.

Just after US President Donald Trump won US elections in November last year amid ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, the former head of the CIA’s Centre for Special Activities (CSA) Philip Raleigh, founded Safe Reach Solutions in Wyoming.

Tracking of the companies’ activities carried out by Al-Araby Al-Jadeed revealed in January 2025 that armed personnel from an American security contractor took over the management of checkpoints where Israel withdrew from Gaza, searching vehicles heading north of the Strip.

The security contractor was later identified as UG solutions, which worked with Safe Reach Solutions on planning and logistics.

Based in North Carolina, UG Solutions was founded by Jameson Govoni, a retired US Special Forces soldier who told ABC News he helped create a Special Forces surveillance programme, aimed at training special operations soldiers to carry out surveillance and find hard-to-find terrorist cells around the world.

The website lists states they "provide global solutions and operate in high-risk and commercial environments" and states one of their current programmes are "providing humanitarian assistance in high-risk environments [and] protecting entrepreneurs and their assets worldwide."

Together, the two companies contracted over 100 former US military personnel, and the weapons they were potentially expected to carry have been listed as assault rifles, Glock pistols and knives.


Two recent startups from military veterans vs 400 distribution points staffed by experienced UN personnel and other long time Aid agencies.

Oh and Israel will still control every calorie going into Gaza

Supplies distributed from these zones will be vetted by Israeli forces and the contractors, while Israeli media previously reported that the aid will only be given once a week, fuelling serious concerns that Palestinians will only be given enough food so they don't starve to death.

The Israeli army recently told Hebrew media that "each representative of a Gaza family will receive exactly the amount that is sufficient for his family to prevent a situation of starvation."


CNN does their best to make it sound reasonable, yet it's nothing but a criminal excuse to keep the total blockade going while speeding up ethnic cleansing and continuing the genocide.
