FULL: ‚Gazans Not Starving…They Don‘t Exercise‘: Netanyahu‘s Shocker As Israel Faces Fire Over Aid

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu shoots down claims of mass starvation in Gaza during an address to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Conference, chaired by Israel, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem. He said that Israel has supplied about 1.8 million tons of food and humanitarian aid to Gaza and ‚this means that there cannot be mass starvation at all.‘ ….

Netanyahu shuns claims of mass starvation in Gaza, says ‚they don‘t exercise‘

„In fact I‘ll give you one simple indication of that. We take thousands of prisoners. We sort them out into civilians and into combatants and we photograph them. You can see those photographs, those videos. What‘s the first thing you do when you take a prisoner in Gaza? First thing you do is you tell them, take your shirt off we want to see that there‘s no suicide vest.

“Thousands and thousands of prisoners have taken their shirt off. And you don‘t see one, not one emaciated, not a single case from the beginning of the war till the present. In fact you see the opposite, you don‘t get enough exercise,” he further added.

Israel killed at least 10 Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza in two days, Gaza media office says

The office said that the Israelis “opened direct fire on hungry Palestinian civilians who had gathered to receive aid“.

“This crime was part of a dubious engineering project run by the American organization called Gaza Humanitarian Relief (GHF),“ the centre said.

The centre said that the foundation contradicts „humanity, neutrality, integrity, and independence“.

Around 2.4 percent of human beings in Gaza have been annihilated – will you do something about it or not?

Do you demand from any NGO, any government, from the UNRWA director Philippe Lazzarini, from the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to stop their unbearable whining and finally kick this fascist gang of Benyamin Netanyahu out of the United Nations?

Do you?

If not – GET OUT OF THE WAY!

Israel’s new Gaza aid system likened to ‚concentration camps’

(last Update 26 May, 2025 10:29 AM)

Internal documents seen by The Washington Post show that biometric technology will be deployed at the hubs, handing the Israeli military power to choose who is allowed to receive aid.

There are plans to construct guarded „humanitarian transition areas“, where tens of thousands of Palestinians will be held. Planners anticipate these zones to be described as „concentration camps“ by the public, the documents show.

Five people involved in the planning expressed concern about the militarisation of aid, and the use of mercenary forces and biometrics to police civilians.

The scheme has triggered outcry among some of Israel‘s closest Western allies and humanitarian organisations, who have refused to cooperate with a plan that they say violates basic humanitarian principles.

The UN has warned that the policy has been designed to facilitate the mass displacement of Palestinians, an accusation effectively confirmed by Israeli ministers who have publicly articulated plans to drive the entire population to the south and force them out of Gaza.

Israel’s latest vision for Gaza has a name: Concentration camp

(April 1, 2025)

Connecting all these dots leads to a fairly clear conclusion: Israel is preparing to forcibly displace the entire population of Gaza — through a combination of evacuation orders and intense bombardment — into an enclosed and possibly fenced-off area. Anyone caught outside its boundaries would be killed, and buildings throughout the rest of the enclave would likely be razed to the ground.

Without mincing words, this “humanitarian zone,” as Magal so kindly put it, in which the army intends to corral Gaza’s 2 million residents, can be summed up in just two words: concentration camp. This is not hyperbole; it is simply the most precise definition to help us better understand what we are facing.

Palestinians storm US-backed aid centres despite concerns over checks

Thousands of Palestinians stormed on Tuesday into sites where aid was being distributed by a foundation backed by the U.S. and Israel, with desperation for food overcoming concern about biometric and other checks Israel said it would employ.
By late afternoon on Tuesday, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it had distributed about 8,000 food boxes, equivalent to about 462,000 meals, after an almost three-month-old Israeli blockade of the war-devastated enclave.

‘Stop Arming Israel’: Israeli Citizens Demonstrations in 12 European Cities, Meeting in Paris

“No business as usual with Israel”, demonstrations by Israeli citizens across Europe will be held tomorrow, Tuesday 27, in 12 major cities to demand: “Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement! Stop Arming Israel!”

According to the initiative, “As Israeli citizens living in Europe, we are watching with broken hearts and endless rage as the Israeli army is exacting unprecedented destruction on the Gaza Strip and its people, as the Israeli society is deteriorating into fascism and widespread dehumanization, and as our government is committing a genocide aimed at the destruction of Palestinian collectivity.”

(…)

In addition, from June 12 to 14, 2025, Paris will host an exceptional gathering, held under the patronage and in the presence of the French President Emmanuel Macron. The initiative was started by The Alliance for Two States headed by Palestinian Samer Sinijlawi and Israeli Gershon Baskin.

Head of Gaza aid organisation resigns hours before controversial plan set to launch

GHF emerged in the public eye earlier this month as Israeli officials began briefing the UN and international NGOs about their new detailed plan to take over – and restrict – aid distribution in Gaza.

According to a memo of those briefings, aid would be distributed from up to five logistic hubs set up in southern Gaza, run by private security contractors and with facial recognition technology to vet beneficiaries.

Head of Gaza aid group resigns, citing concern over ‘humanitarian principles’

The GHF is a Switzerland-based nonprofit organization backed by the United States and Israel, which aims to use armed private contractors to provide security at Israeli-designated corridors and distribution “hubs,” from which aid groups would distribute food packages to vetted Gazans.

Jake Wood’s resignation as executive director, which he said comes two months after he was approached to lead the organization, amounts to a vote of no confidence against the foundation’s plan, which has faced skepticism from humanitarian agencies about its feasibility and morality since its inception.

Swiss foreign office to investigate controversial Gaza NGO

Trial International has filed two complaints with the Swiss authorities about a controversial NGO, which was set up to distribute aid in the Gaza Strip. (…)

The international crime-fighting organisation wants to know whether GHF, which has had a subsidiary registered in Geneva since February, complies with Swiss law and international humanitarian law.

It is particularly concerned about the foundation’s links with the United States, where its headquarters are located, and with Israel.

Joint donor statement on humanitarian aid to Gaza

(May 19, 2025)

Israel’s security cabinet has reportedly approved a new model for delivering aid into Gaza, which the UN and our humanitarian partners cannot support. They are clear that they will not participate in any arrangement that does not fully respect the humanitarian principles. Humanitarian principles matter for every conflict around the world and should be applied consistently in every warzone. The UN has raised concerns that the proposed model cannot deliver aid effectively, at the speed and scale required. It places beneficiaries and aid workers at risk, undermines the role and independence of the UN and our trusted partners, and links humanitarian aid to political and military objectives. Humanitarian aid should never be politicised, and Palestinian territory must not be reduced nor subjected to any demographic change.

New Gaza Aid Plan, Bypassing U.N. and Billed as Neutral, Originated in Israel

The New York Times found that the broad contours of the plan were first discussed in late 2023, at private meetings of like-minded officials, military officers and business people with close ties to the Israeli government.

The group called itself the Mikveh Yisrael Forum, after a college where members convened in December 2023. Its leading figures gradually settled on the idea of hiring private contractors to distribute food in Gaza, circumventing the United Nations.

Sweeping overhaul of Gaza aid raises questions of morality and workability

The planning documents anticipated public skepticism and preemptively prepared talking points in case the GHF encountered allegations likening its food distribution hubs and residential compounds to “‘concentration camps’ with biometrics” or comparing the organization to Blackwater, a former U.S. mercenary firm implicated in violence against civilians in Iraq.

(…)

In mid-2024, Israeli officials shared their plans with a group of private-sector American consultants led by Phil Reilly, a retired CIA paramilitary officer and former agency station chief in Afghanistan. Reilly’s group, said five of the Israeli and American individuals, took over the planning and determined that a new company led by Reilly, named Safe Reach Solutions, would be the future subcontractor that would provide security and logistics for the hubs.
