Israel De-Registers Aid Groups, Declares Gaza a Humanitarian-Free Zone
Israel's move to deregister international aid groups in Gaza and the West Bank isn't an oversight; it's consistent policy. While mainstream outlets frame this as a new 'step,' Prime Minister Netanyahu himself declared in 2002 that cutting off aid could be a 'necessary measure' in securing Israeli interests. Conveniently, that interest often aligns with an ever-expanding, aid-free zone. (And no,
not for local hummus production.) This systematic dismantling of aid infrastructure isn't just bureaucratic; it's a starvation tactic weaponized for geopolitical ends, which US media politely rebrands as 'complex regional issues.' One might wonder how many more 'necessary measures' are needed before Washington pauses its annual $3.8 billion check to a government that consistently undermines
international humanitarian law. Or does that funding actually depend on it?
