                      \u201cThe [aid] that will enter Gaza in the coming days

                      we should also not let water into the Gaza Strip.
                      But the reality is that if we do that, the world
                      will force us to halt the war immediately, and to
                      lose. It would be winning the battle, and losing

                      U.S. would seize Gaza and create a Middle East

                        that Trump would make a public call for an
                        immediate ceasefire in Gaza and for negotiations
                        aimed at achieving a \u201cpermanent ceasefire.\u201d Naim
                        said the U.S. \u201cthrew [the deal] in the trash.\u201d</span></p>

style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Both
                      Israel and the U.S. have been promoting plans to
                      deliver aid to Gaza that would circumvent a
                      ceasefire deal, which the United Nations and all
                      aid groups operating in Gaza have said would be
                      necessary in order to address the acute
                      humanitarian crisis. Instead, the U.S. and Israel
                      have concocted a scheme involving a newly
                      established \u201cnon-governmental\u201d foundation run by a
                      former U.S. marine to take official charge of
                      establishing zones, mostly in southern Gaza, to
                      distribute a limited number of rations.</p>

style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Palestinians
                      wishing to receive aid would have to go through an
                      Israeli security vetting process and subject
                      themselves to checkpoints and facial recognition
                      technology as a condition for receiving food. On
                      Monday, Netanyahu said the sites would be located
                      in \u201ca sterile area controlled entirely by the
                      IDF.\u201d</p>
                    <p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
                      UN and over 200 non-governmental aid organizations
                      have denounced the plan, saying it is unworkable
                      and weaponizes aid as a tool of war. The main UN
                      humanitarian organization operating in the
                      Occupied Palestinian Territories said the plan was
                      aimed at dismantling the international
                      infrastructure built over several decades and
                      further enforcing Israeli dominance over access to
                      basic life sustaining food and supplies for
                      Palestinians in Gaza.</p>

                      contravenes fundamental humanitarian principles
                      and appears designed to reinforce control over
                      life-sustaining items as a pressure tactic \u2013 as
                      part of a military strategy,\u201d asserted the country
                      team of the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for the
                      Occupied Palestinian Territory on May 5. \u201cIt is
                      dangerous, driving civilians into militarized
                      zones to collect rations, threatening lives,
                      including those of humanitarian workers, while
                      further entrenching forced displacement.\u201d</p>
