An explosion at a humanitarian aid point in Gaza has ignited a fierce war of words between Hamas and the US! Two American citizens, former special forces members, were lightly injured in a hand grenade blast at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) point, an organization backed by the US and Israel. But Hamas categorically denies the US State Department’s claims that its members were responsible, calling the accusations “misleading” and an attempt to justify continued violence against Palestinian civilians. Meanwhile, the UN warns of a worsening humanitarian crisis and calls for safe access to aid. The Israeli war cabinet has just approved a plan to distribute more aid to northern Gaza, despite strong opposition within the government. All this unfolds as Israeli attacks in May killed dozens of Palestinians, including those waiting for humanitarian aid. GHF, which employs private American military contractors to protect its points, is at the center of attention, as the aid conflict becomes yet another front in the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Is this just the start of a new wave of violence, or will aid finally reach those who desperately need it? Take a look and tell us what you think—is this another power play or a real tragedy?
