US EditionUS-Backed Gaza Aid Foundation Taps Christian Zionist Leader as New Director - News From Antiwar.com
- The U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation appointed Rev. Dr. Johnnie Moore, an American evangelical leader, as executive chairman on June 3, 2025, to oversee aid distribution in Gaza.
- This appointment followed GHF’s launch a week earlier amid criticism by the United Nations for militarizing aid and its controversial use of private U.S. Security firms to deliver assistance.
- Moore, a former Trump advisor who supports Trump's proposal for the U.S. To take over and develop Gaza economically, defends GHF's distribution model despite at least 27 deaths and over 150 injuries at aid sites.
- GHF claims to have distributed seven million meals safely and efficiently from secure sites, while the U.N. And other aid groups refuse involvement, citing a lack of neutrality and politicization of aid.
- Moore’s leadership could deepen U.N. Concerns amid the ongoing 2023 Gaza conflict, suggesting intensified debates about aid neutrality and U.S. Political ambitions in the Palestinian enclave.

Johnnie Moore Named Executive Chairman of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering large-scale humanitarian aid to Gaza’s civilian population, has appointed the Rev. Johnnie Moore as its new executive chairman. U.S. Evangelical leader Moore is a pro-Israel advocate and has spoken out against Hamas repeatedly over the years.
The controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is intended to deprive Hamas of access to humanitarian aid, but it is havocing at all corners and ends. Now, a pastor of Trump's graces is to set the foundation on course.
Pastor Johnnie Moore, a close confidant of US President Donald Trump, is also a pro-Israel, Bible-believing Christian and now the new head of the reviled Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, Haaretz reports. Moore says reports of deadly violence at aid sites are “a lie spread by terrorists.”
The leadership of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the private American foundation that, after months of total blockade, is in charge of distributing emergency aid to the Gaza Strip, is in turmoil. Meanwhile, US and Israeli attempts to reshape aid efforts have led to chaotic scenes and the deaths of around 60 Palestinians.
