Israel Ambassador: UN Blocks Gaza Aid Distribution by Collaborating with Hamas

Humanitarian Aid Blockage in Gaza

• 🎯 Israel's Ambassador Yechiel Leiter asserts that Israel is doing everything possible to get food into Gaza, but efforts are being blocked by the United Nations.
• ⚠️ The UN is accused of refusing to distribute aid unless it is turned over to Hamas, a condition Israel insists against.
• 🚚 Approximately 900 semi-trailers of humanitarian aid are reportedly stuck at the Karum Shalom crossing because the UN refuses to distribute them without Hamas's involvement.

Accusations Against the UN and Hamas

• 🤥 Ambassador Leiter claims the UN is tendentious and lying, holding the people of Gaza responsible due to their collaboration with Hamas.
• 🚨 He states that many UN operatives in Gaza are threatened by Hamas, leading them to avoid disrupting the existing distribution process.
• 📊 The ambassador criticizes UN figures, like Tom Fletcher, for relying on numbers from the Hamas health agency, a designated terrorist organization, which he calls "facious."

Diverting Aid and Prolonging Conflict

• 📈 Leiter alleges that 90% of food going through UN-associated agencies is diverted to Hamas, which he believes prolongs the war and strengthens the organization.
• 🤝 Israel insists on distributing aid through alternative means, such as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, to prevent Hamas from controlling or benefiting from it.
• 🚫 The UN's refusal to cooperate with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is questioned, suggesting it's due to bureaucratic issues or a desire for control.

IDF Actions and Hamas Interference

• ⚠️ Regarding an incident where nearly a hundred people died swarming food trucks, Ambassador Leiter stated the IDF fired warning shots for crowd control and did not hit anyone.
• 🎯 He claims categorical proof that Hamas is shooting people heading to alternative aid stations to disrupt distribution outside of UN agencies.
• ⚔️ The ambassador emphasizes that Israel is fighting terrorists who kill indiscriminately, implying that the IDF's actions are in response to such threats.
