Israel's assertion that Hamas was stealing humanitarian aid has been disproven. Israeli military officials confirmed that there was no proof of systematic theft by Hamas. The humanitarian aid delivery system from the U.N. was functional and successfully provided food to the population in Gaza, despite Israeli efforts to undermine it. Additionally, an internal U.S. government analysis found no allegations that Hamas benefited from U.S. aid, contradicting previous claims. A State Department spokesperson referenced video evidence of looting, yet failed to provide any such videos.
The Israeli military never found proof that the Palestinian militant group had systematically stolen aid from the United Nations, the biggest supplier of emergency assistance to Gaza for most of the war, according to two senior Israeli military officials and two other Israelis involved in the matter.
The U.N. aid delivery system, which Israel derided and undermined, was largely effective in providing food to Gaza's desperate and hungry population.
It found 'no reports alleging Hamas' benefited from U.S.-funded supplies, according to a slide presentation of the findings seen by Reuters.
A State Department spokesperson claimed there was 'video evidence' of Hamas looting aid - but 'provided no such videos.'
