An Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Oren Marmorstein, has accused Hamas of attempting to sabotage a humanitarian aid group jointly backed by the United States and Israel. Marmorstein alleges that Hamas is spreading disinformation, described as "fake news," to discredit the organization and retain control within Gaza. The aid group's mission is to provide essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population, addressing critical needs such as food, medical supplies, and shelter.
The accusations come at a sensitive time, as international organizations and governments are working to increase the flow of aid into Gaza. Marmorstein stated that Hamas's alleged actions are intended to undermine these efforts and maintain its grip on power. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that aid reaches those who need it most without interference or manipulation.
The aid group in question was established to operate independently and impartially, working in coordination with international agencies and local partners. The specific details of the alleged disinformation campaign have not been publicly disclosed, but Marmorstein asserted that Israel has evidence to support its claims. Hamas has yet to respond to these allegations.
