16. Did you see THIS??

Not much shocks me these days, but THIS?

The NYT has revealed GHF is not so neutral or independent. The Times of Israel has a good summary and our pro-Israel friends may find it more credible so I've chosen that link.

GHF is a "brainchild" of Israeli venture capitalists, an Israeli cabinet member, people with ties to that paragon of humanitarianism COGAT, and even the Office of Netanyahu. Qu'elle surprise.

Throw in an ex-CIA guy who trained the Contra right-wing militias as the preferred contractor, a business model based on fundraising(!) and you have the makings of some great financial "opportunities". At the expense of starving and broken Palestinians of course.

Sources told the outlet that the process appeared pre-decided in favor of Reilly’s company and that the Prime Minister’s Office, especially Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a key Netanyahu confidant, played a central role in pushing it forward.

Businessman Shlomi Fogel, also a Netanyahu confidant, was also named in connection but has denied involvement.

Many within the defense establishment suspect personal and financial motives may be driving the operation, given the lack of transparency and the exclusion of official oversight bodies, Haaretz reported.

Unclear origins, mysterious funding

Another key revelation of The New York Times report was that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was registered in the US, not Switzerland, as previously believed.

Two entities – GHF and the private security firm S.R.S. – were registered in November 2024 by associates of Reilly.

GHF, led by Jake Wood, will supposedly raise funds and hire S.R.S. to secure food distribution. Though Wood said the two groups now operate independently, they were registered by the same US lawyer and shared a spokeswoman until recently.
