Joe Biden announced, while he was in Israel, that his top priority was getting aid to Gaza. He barely mentioned the Israelis and Americans who were killed and kidnapped. He said he would send $100 million to Gaza, but he focused on Ukraine and Gaza.
Biden made sure that the aid was sent to Gaza immediately, despite concerns that Hamas would steal it.
How would they ensure that it was not stolen?
Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the Biden team has a “plan” and they will be “the first to condemn it” if the plan is stolen.
SEC. BLINKEN: “The U.S. and Israel have agreed to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organizations to reach civilians in Gaza, and them alone.”

I am sure Hamas was trembling in their boots.
Jon Finer, Deputy National Security Advisor, then made a statement. His remarks were even worse. Finer said that they believed they could prevent Hamas from stealing aid because of an agreement they had with…wait for this…Hamas.
Q: How will you ensure none of the $100M for Gaza/West Bank “ends up in the hands of Hamas?”
DEP. NSA JON FINER: “It involves securing an understanding among Hamas…”
Q: We should “take the word of Hamas…?”

Now comes news that thousands of people have broken into UN warehouses and stolen aid from Gaza.
UNRWA has a warehouse in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. It stores supplies that are delivered to Gaza by humanitarian convoys.
Video footage from Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, showed men carrying large bags and boxes out of a storage facility. They were either hoisting the bags onto their shoulders or loading their bicycles.

Many of the people I saw in the videos were young men. Are they Hamas members? Where will the aid now go?
I wouldn’t put money on aid reaching those in greatest need. If there was such a need, why were there so many items in the warehouses? Some people say that the refugees are desperate. This does prove that aid isn’t as secure as predicted.
What is the Biden Team saying now? I can probably guess their answer — they are desperate so let’s send in more aid that will be stolen, without fixing any problems.
We reported that the war has expanded. Hamas is happy to see the situation deteriorate. Hamas doesn’t care for the people. They use them as human barriers and then blame Israel when they die.
