US EditionIsrael will not be involved in Gaza aid distribution, US ambassador Huckabee says
- On May 9, 2025, US Ambassador Mike Huckabee stated that Israel will not participate in distributing aid in Gaza but will provide distant military security due to the war zone conditions.
- The US-led aid plan follows Israel's March 2025 blockade and ongoing military offensive, which were triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that killed over 1,200 people in southern Israel.
- Palestinians in Khan Younis crowd at aid points with containers, but distribution centers often close due to supply shortages amid an escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
- Huckabee invited the UN, NGOs, and governments to join the new foundation-led program, hoping it starts soon, while critics warn the plan risks militarizing aid and violating international law.
- This initiative implies a shift in Gaza’s humanitarian response that may bypass established UN agencies amid severe food shortages and mounting civilian casualties on both sides.
