*By Max Blumenthal*

In its bid to continue the genocide in Gaza, Israel has banned 
<https://substack.com/redirect/638661b9-8483-418a-92d1-3f33f1ed0c72?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA>37 
international aid organizations from entering the decimated, militarily 
occupied coastal enclave. This leaves only five humanitarian groups 
still able to operate inside Gaza.

At the same time, one of the US mercenary firms responsible for securing 
the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites which were present 
during the worst periods of famine in Gaza, when at least 3000 
Palestinian civilians were gunned down while seeking aid, has posted an 
ad soliciting former special forces soldiers for offensive operations.

UG Solutions, the scandal-stained private mercenary firm, announced 
<https://substack.com/redirect/66906464-c6c0-404b-a4a5-68bd8a9b9a9c?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA>this 
December that it was hiring an “experienced Targeter to support 
intelligence-driven operations through the identification, development, 
validation, and maintenance of operational targets.” The targeter will 
be expected to “Develop, validate, and maintain operational target 
packages in accordance with approved targeting processes.”

Anthony Aguilar, the retired United States Army Lt. Col and former Green 
Beret who blew the whistle 
<https://substack.com/redirect/2b1335af-3c5e-432c-84a1-3044c301ce71?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA>on 
UG Solutions’ human rights abuses in Gaza, told me he believes that 
Israel’s ban on the 37 international aid organizations signals the 
return of UG Solutions as part of a restructured version of the 
Israeli-controlled Gaza Humanitarian Foundation scheme.

While it’s unclear where the UG Solutions targeter position will be 
deployed, if they are being hired for upcoming operations in Gaza, 
Aguilar says “this shows that the US, though paramilitary contractors, 
is now going to either directly target, or feed target data to the IDF.”

	<https://substack.com/redirect/4092bb2c-fcb9-4d3d-aa44-7824f627cfcb?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA> 	

To set the stage for its blanket ban on international aid organizations, 
Israel's intel-tied Ministry of Diaspora Affairs has demanded that all 
staffers of aid NGOs prove they do not support calls to boycott Israel, 
that they do not support armed struggle or oppose Israel's existence as 
an exclusivist Jewish state, and that they do not "actively advance 
delegitimization activities against the State of Israel."

Aid staffers must also demonstrate that they have never questioned the 
established history of the Holocaust or challenged official Israeli 
narratives about October 7 – including, presumably, that Palestinians 
committed "mass rape" or beheaded babies.

Israel has also demanded that Doctors Without Borders provide COGAT 
occupation administrators with the personal data of its staff and 
donors, an unprecedented move by a belligerent in a conflict which few, 
if any, aid groups could ever honor.

It seems obvious that the Israeli government is using the absurdly 
onerous new registration standards as cover to ban virtually every 
credible international aid organization from entering Gaza. In doing so, 
the apartheid entity seemingly seeks to deprive Palestinians living 
inside the yellow occupation line of sustenance, forcing them to leave 
Gaza, or to move into one of the high-tech, concentration camp-like 
"smart cities" mapped out in the dystopian new "Project Sunrise" 
<https://substack.com/redirect/9d0037ce-b225-4de0-92d9-6a67af3b2487?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA>proposal 
marketed by Trump cronies Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

And it is there that they would be “secured” by a mercenary outfit like 
UG Solutions – and targeted if they dared to resist.
