(Worthy News) – Israel’s new humanitarian aid plan for the Gaza Strip aims to deliver supplies directly to families, but some international aid organizations are refusing to cooperate unless significant changes are made, two Western diplomats told The Jerusalem Post.
The plan, approved by Israel’s Security Cabinet this week, will go into effect once the existing stockpile of aid in Gaza is depleted. Under the new framework, aid will be distributed through centers located in the southern Gaza Strip, areas fully controlled by the IDF. This represents a shift from the previous system, where aid was delivered by trucks to various locations, allowing Hamas to seize supplies.
While the same organizations that previously supplied aid are expected to continue, two Western diplomats told the Post that some of them would refuse to participate if Israel implements a list restricting aid recipients. The new plan intends to ensure aid reaches families directly, but the screening process would exclude those associated with Hamas.
“It’s not necessarily that the organizations oppose a new distribution model,” a Western diplomat told the Post. “But they are not willing to accept a system in which the IDF and the Israeli security apparatus decide who receives aid and who doesn’t.”
World Central Kitchen, one of the largest humanitarian organizations previously operating in Gaza, has already indicated that it will not cooperate under the new system, according to another Western diplomat.
On Wednesday, the Post reported that Israel and the US held discussions with UN representatives to persuade them to join the framework. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff also briefed the UN Security Council, urging cooperation.
A senior UN official, however, pushed back, telling the Post, “This is not a matter of funding. We will not participate in a humanitarian aid distribution system that violates our core principles.”
Despite US threats to cut UN funding, the stalemate continues as international organizations demand amendments to the Israeli plan before agreeing to participate.
