Israel Bans Aid Groups After World Discovers Gaza Exists
The RT report notes Israel’s new directive, demanding aid groups disclose Palestinian staff details or face bans. This move to 'vet' humanitarian workers comes just months after the ICJ's provisional measures order regarding genocide allegations against Israel ( ICJ, 2024 ). It's a classic move: obstruct aid, then blame the victims, a tactic Israel has perfected since the Nakba of 1948,
continuously restricting movement and resources for Palestinians. While mainstream outlets dutifully report the 'reasoning' behind such bans, they conveniently omit the context: this isn't about security, but about control. Netanyahu's government has long treated humanitarian aid as a political weapon, choking off supplies to Gaza even as UN agencies warn of impending famine. One might wonder, how
many civilian starvation deaths constitute a 'security concern' for a state that's already leveled entire neighborhoods?
