Looting now a huge obstacle to distributing aid in Gaza. UN memo obtained by The Washington Post says gangs “benefit from passive if not active benevolence” or “protection” by IDF. One gang leader established compound in zone “controlled & patrolled by IDF.” washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/…

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message : “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18

A months-long Israeli military operation has displaced 40,000 Palestinians in the northern West Bank. Humanitarian groups, hamstrung by Israeli restrictions and funding challenges, are struggling to respond. my latest: washingtonpost.com/world/2025/03/…

New: Israel is about to enact a plan to take control of aid distribution inside Gaza using U.S. private security contractors. Aid orgs say the plan is logistically unworkable, violates humanitarian principles & would break int’l law. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/…

Our investigation into the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the obscure entity that popped up in recent weeks as the face of an Israeli to implement a new aid system in Gaza that humanitarians & even some in the Israeli defense est. say is unworkable: washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/…

Arab governments, especially in the Persian Gulf, had once taken a hawkish line toward Iran but now worry U.S. strikes could upend regional stability and hurt business. w/ Steve Hendrix washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/…

I got a summary of the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal. Hamas would release 28 Israeli hostages — 10 alive, 18 bodies — in 5 stages over the 60-day ceasefire. Aid would enter Gaza “in sufficient amounts” through the U.N. and Red Crescent. More here: washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

The UN had clearly warned that routing crowds of hungry Palestinian aid seekers through land controlled by the IDF could lead to troops using gunfire as “crowd control”. The GHF opened its sites regardless, as Palestinians were gunned down repeatedly. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
