IDF to Take Over Humanitarian Aid Distribution in Gaza
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the defense establishment to prepare to distribute humanitarian aid in Gaza, instead of the international organizations. The humanitarian aid sent to Gaza currently reaches Hamas and enables it to maintain control. Brig.-Gen. Elad Goren will head the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit for Gaza, a position similar to that of COGAT in the West Bank. Goren will handle daily tactical issues such as the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza, repairing local infrastructure destroyed in the war, and maintaining contact with foreign aid organizations. This will enable Israel to preserve its legitimacy to continue fighting in Gaza, without being hindered by a humanitarian crisis or famine.
