US mediating for ethnic cleansing
US mediates between Israel and UN over notorious GHF: Report
The US has been reportedly mediating between Israel and the UN over the so-called GHF, the entity set up by Israel and the US to exclude the UN and international organisations from the aid delivery process to Gaza.
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told Israel’s Haaretz newspaper that UN Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Joyce Musa met with White House envoy Steve Witkoff and his close confidant Aryeh Lightstone last Tuesday.
Msuya was quoted as describing the meeting as “constructive”, focusing on the “dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and the need to scale up desperately needed aid”.
Last week, another meeting was reportedly held with UN representatives, which included Johnny Moore, the evangelical leader close to Trump who is acting as the executive chairman of the GHF.
The UN’s Dujarric emphasised that the organisation has not changed its fundamental stance towards the GHF, and that its staff can only work with entities that “operate based on the international humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, independence and humanity”.
