No, what Israel and The US are doing is catastrophically bad. It is eaxctly what my comment warned against.

Israel cannot be trusted to deliver anything for the Palestinians in good faith. What happens as soon as the world’s eyes shift.

The Israeli’s cannot be trusted to be fair minded on this issue for the same reason victims of rape cannot be allowed to name the sentence of their rapist. An impartial party that can as genuinely as possible guarantee the actual aid delivery in the amounts needed.

I think that video is shot like its a PR stunt, but it doesn’t even matter if its real, fake, a PR stunt, or the sign of a genuine change. There can be no genuine assurances while the Israelis and the US allies control the aid flow, there is no impartiality, and every reason for them to use the aid to maximise their own benefit. Its grotesque that this needs to be explained.

These quites are from your linked article, and summarise well the issue,

Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN aid coordination office, OCHA: “It is a distraction from what is actually needed, which is a reopening of all the crossings into Gaza, a secure environment within Gaza and faster facilitation of permissions and final approvals of all the emergency supplies that we have just outside the border; [aid] needs to get in.”

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini was equally blunt. “This new aid model is not only wasteful but a distraction from atrocities,” he told Reuters. The GHF system, Lazzarini argued, circumvents established humanitarian norms and risks using food as a weapon of population control.
