Gaza: Hamas, yesterday, rejected U.S. accusations that, it was controlling humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. According to Nam News Network, in a press statement, Hamas said that, the accusations made by U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, against Hamas, of controlling Gaza aid are contrary to the truth. Huckabee stated yesterday that, a new distribution system of humanitarian aid to Gaza, through private companies is being prepared, describing the system as an effort to prevent Hamas from stealing aid. Meanwhile, Palestinian National Council Speaker, Rawhi Fattouh, also debunked the U.S. plan in a press statement. The U.S. plan, which entrusts the distribution of limited humanitarian aid in Gaza to international companies, has nothing to do with humanitarian work, Fattouh said, calling the plan a dangerous racist project, aimed at isolating Palestinians in residential enclaves and apartheid camps, stripping them of most necessities of life. Israel halted the entry of goods and supplies into Gaza o n March 2, following the expiration of the first phase of a Jan ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The second phase of the agreement has yet to be implemented, due to a lack of consensus between the parties.
