While the mainstream media continuously accuses Israel of being the primary obstacle to humanitarian aid reaching Gaza, recent revelations paint a very different picture.

According to a bombshell report by Channel 12 News, Hamas has diverted an estimated half a billion dollars from humanitarian aid intended for Arab civilians. The laundering process involves seizing control of incoming humanitarian assistance, storing it in secret warehouses, and then selling it to Gaza residents at inflated prices. Profits from this scheme are believed to fund recruitment and salaries for terrorists.

Meanwhile, a recent lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan last month alleges that Hamas skimmed over $1 billion from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The suit, brought by about 100 Israeli plaintiffs including survivors of the October 7 attack, claims that the money was wired from New York to the West Bank. From there, financial institutions loaded some of that cash onto trucks and drove it across Israel into Gaza.

Seven current and former top UNRWA officials are accused in the charge of willfully knowing that Hamas siphoned off the money to pay for weapons and tunneling equipment that aided its savage attack against Israel on Oct. 7.

For years, the Israeli government facilitated efforts by Qatar to send cash to Gaza for humanitarian operations. But that also stopped after allegations arose that the money had been diverted by Hamas to pay for its terror operations.
