UN Urges Israel: Please Don't Starve Gaza TOO Fast
The New Arab reports that some 37 international NGOs face expulsion from Gaza by January 1st, prompting the UN to issue a sternly-worded request. This isn't Israel's first rodeo with weaponizing aid; they've historically restricted critical supplies, from construction materials to medical goods, under the guise of 'security concerns' dating back to the 2007 siege. Now, as the ICJ investigates
genocide allegations, removing aid organizations seems less about security and more about optimizing humanitarian catastrophe. While the UN issues press releases, US politicians like Senator Bob Menendez (who has received over $1.5 million from pro-Israel groups since 1990 according to OpenSecrets.org) continue to rubber-stamp unconditional aid packages. How long do aid organizations have before
'urging' becomes merely documenting the inevitable?
