Palestinian analyst rubbishes US envoy’s claim of Hamas diverting aid

Muhammad Shehada, a visiting fellow with the European Council on Foreign Relations, has described US-Israeli claims that the famine in Gaza is being caused by Hamas stealing aid as “genocide deniers’ dumbest talking point”.

The Palestinian analyst made the comment in a post on X, which referred to a statement by the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, on May 9.

“Israel subjects Gaza to the world’s most meticulous surveillance in history, yet they NEVER presented a single piece of evidence showing Hamas looting aid,” Shehada wrote.

“Non-stop drone and satellite surveillance of every inch of Gaza, eavesdropping on every phone call and message, yet nothing!” he added.

Shehada also noted that humanitarian experts say that the best way to prevent looting is to “flood” Gaza with aid. “Then there would be no value in looting food when it’s abundant & available to all.”
