U.S. Says Hamas Seized First Aid Shipment that Entered Northern Gaza via New Crossing
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - Hamas seized a major shipment of humanitarian aid that was delivered to Gaza from Jordan last week, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said Thursday. The supplies were shipped through the renovated Erez border crossing with Israel, which was largely destroyed by Hamas during its Oct. 7 terror onslaught. Secretary of State Antony Blinken viewed the aid on Tuesday just before it departed from Amman, bound for Gaza. "The UN is either in the process or has by now recovered that aid, but it was an unacceptable act by Hamas to divert this aid to begin with," Miller said.
