US biker gang running security at contentious Gaza aid sites: BBC
- A US private contractor, UG Solutions, employs at least 10 members of the far-right Infidels Motorcycle Club to provide armed security at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid sites in Gaza since May 2023.
- The Infidels MC, founded by US Iraq war veterans in 2006, openly displays anti-Muslim imagery linked to the Crusades, raising concerns about their role in managing aid security amid reports of violence.
- Multiple sources report that over 2,000 Palestinians have been killed near these aid distribution sites while seeking food, with Israeli forces admitting they shot civilians under orders, and contractors allegedly using live ammunition.
- UG Solutions denies allegations of firing on civilians or unsafe conduct, stands by leader Johnny Mulford's 30 years’ experience, and GHF claims a zero-tolerance policy for hateful or discriminatory behavior at their sites.
- The recruitment and employment of Infidels MC members to secure aid sites amid killings and controversy imply potential risks of further violence and international criticism for the Gaza humanitarian operation.
