There's a lot of question marks about this new aid plan. So we know it's basically an Israeli American plan. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is a private entity that's kind of overseeing this whole aid operation. So it's basically registered in the U.S. currently, and they are basically leading the whole effort. But they've also had some crises going into this.
There was the resignation of Jake Wood, who was the chief of the foundation. And there's a lot of questions about the funding. We don't know where the funding comes from. That's the bottom line. We've had some Israeli politicians, lawmakers from the opposition, suggest that Israel is funding some of this. They have not provided proof of that.

So there's a lot of question marks about who is funding this and why. There's also the question of how involved Israel is, which seems, you know, based on my conversations with people familiar and former officials, it seems that Israel did have a big role in this.

Yeah, so this is radically different. So what we have is GHF has set up right now four, it has four planned centers. So you have three in Rafah in southern Gaza on an Israeli constructed corridor called Morag. And then you have another one on an Israeli constructed corridor called Nitzarim, which is more in the center of Gaza.

So first of all, we don't have sites in the north at the moment, which is an issue because before there were many possibilities to go get aid. But now it's trickier, especially if you can't move or something like that.

And they are working with GHF and they are basically tasked with delivering the aid. So what we see is we've also seen this in videos and we know this from our reporting. It's a lot of former American vets, including from Afghanistan and Iraq. And they are also on the ground in Gaza helping secure the aid site itself.

It is unusual. We're not quite sure why they were selected. They're pretty new in the game. They did one thing, which, you know, the Israeli government sees as kind of a proof of concept. But they were actually securing a corridor called Netsarim in the center of Gaza, which kind of bisects the strip, the north and the south. And they were securing it during the latest ceasefire.

So that is their experience. But we don't know much else about them.
