US EditionIsrael may change tack to allow aid groups in Gaza to stay in charge of non-food aid
- On May 22, 2025, Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation agreed to let existing aid groups continue managing non-food humanitarian aid in Gaza while GHF would control food distribution under a new system.
- This followed pressure to increase aid flow after nearly three months of Israeli blockades that worsened a humanitarian crisis affecting 2.3 million Palestinians amid accusations of Hamas diverting aid.
- The United Nations rejected Israel's plan, accusing it of using food as a weapon and violating humanitarian principles, while established aid groups pushed back on GHF's capacity and feared forced displacement.

- Legal scrutiny increased as TRIAL International urged Swiss authorities to monitor GHF, which claims over $100 million in unnamed foreign commitments but lacks operational capacity and is backed by Israel.
