Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 9 hours agoWhen asked about Hamas’s responsibility for the safety of civilians, Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook allegedly replied that “it is the responsibility of the United Nations to protect them… [and] it is the responsibility of the occupation to provide them with… services”.[290][291] On 28 October, The New York Times reported that Hamas had stockpiled food, water, medicine and sanitary products in underground caches, in amounts that would allow it to continue fighting for several months without resupply.[292] On 12 November, Kan 11 aired a video taken by a Gazan civilian, that appeared to show Hamas policemen beating civilians approaching a truck carrying humanitarian aid for food, before allegedly taking the supplies for themselves.[293] According to The Algemeiner, an unnamed “Fatah TV anchor” claimed that Hamas killed humanitarian aid workers to “prevent any activity by any [other] party” and “ensure Hamas control over the aid”.[294][295] Israel has also claimed Hamas has stolen aid.[296][297][298][299] However, US officials said they do not have evidence to support Israel’s claims.[300][301] On September 13 Israeli Channel 12 news played alleged intercepted recordings purporting to show Hamas operatives discussing how to disperse overflowing Gaza aid that they had seized. In the recordings of radio conversations, an operative says “We have trucks overflowing with goods.” The second operative declines the offer, saying “we have everything. In the meantime, we have no room in the stores.” He then suggests they send the goods to Khan Younis.[302]

Oh look, fresh news:
US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said “distribution centres” protected by security contractors would provide food and other supplies to over a million people initially, as part of an effort to prevent Hamas stealing aid.

The Gaza war was triggered by the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which saw about 1,200 people killed and more than 250 taken hostage. Some 59 are still held captive, up to 24 of whom are believed to be alive.
So much for “US officials said they do not have evidence to support Israel’s claims” huh odd

That’s not news of Hamas stealing aid. That’s Mike Huckabee repeating the same Zionist line as you are.
You’re not particularly smart, are you?
