Israel Prefers Gaza Traders to Aid Groups: A Masterclass in Engineered Scarcity
Yes, Israel is permitting goods into Gaza, but only via select 'traders' – not UN agencies or established aid groups. This isn’t a humanitarian gesture; it's a calculated move to establish monopolies and deepen dependence, as reported by The New Arab. We've seen this script before, an economic chokehold disguised as 'normalcy.' Remember the pre-2023 blockade, when Israel meticulously controlled
what entered and exited Gaza, creating a 'controlled humanitarian crisis' for seventeen years? This isn't about feeding people; it's about control and profit, ensuring that even under siege, certain interests thrive. One might wonder, how many layers of bureaucracy and profiteering must Gazans endure before their suffering is considered 'aid-worthy'?
