UBS, Goldman passed on opening bank accounts for U.S.-backed Gaza aid foundation: Reuters
- UBS declined a request by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to open a bank account in Switzerland, and Goldman Sachs also did not establish one after initial talks, according to sources.
- The GHF, supported by the U.S. and Israel, began delivering humanitarian supplies to Gaza in May but withdrew due to setbacks including low donations and executive resignations.

- Despite challenges, a GHF spokesperson stated the withdrawal was a strategic decision to focus operations in the U.S. and not due to setbacks with banking negotiations.
