The controversial U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), whose operations got off to a chaotic start this week in the war-torn Palestinian territory, says it is winding down its Swiss operation after three months. The move comes as Swiss authorities said GHF was breaching rules for foundations registered in that country. GHF told CBS News that moving forward, its only operations would be based out of the United States.

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.
