COGAT shows food markets in Gaza to deny Hamas famine claim
While asserting “aid is flowing in, by land and by air every day,” COGAT asserted that “Hamas is pushing a fake famine narrative” while stealing the aid and selling it at a large mark-up.

The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories shared footage on Monday of bustling markets with large quantities of food to counter Hamas’s accusations that Israel is deliberately causing a famine in the Gaza Strip.
The footage shows fresh produce being sold, along with pastry shops being open.
While asserting “aid is flowing in, by land and by air every day,” COGAT asserted that “Hamas is pushing a fake famine narrative” while stealing the aid and selling it at a large markup.
“Bitter truth: Hamas is starving its own people. They steal the food, hoard the aid, and sell it at sky-high prices,” COGAT said. “The food is there. The aid is there. Hamas just keeps it from those who need it most.”
The COGAT video was released after Hamas released videos of emaciated hostages , claiming that they were being subjected to the same starvation as the rest of the Gaza Strip over an apparent lack of resources being transferred to the Gaza Strip.
Claims of famine in Gaza
Additionally, the IDF confirmed on Monday that as part of the cooperation between Israel, the UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Germany, Belgium, and Canada, the IDF and COGAT led a series of actions aimed at improving the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip. As part of the efforts, 120 aid packets were dropped across the Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group, has been transferring food to the Gaza Strip after Hamas stole aid from humanitarian groups working in the Gaza Strip.
While GHF and Israel have denied there is famine in the Gaza Strip, Hamas-run authorities have complained of widespread hunger. Hamas authorities have also alleged that more than a thousand people were killed at GHF aid sites, an accusation denied by both GHF and Israel.

While the bleeding hearts of the world lap up the Hamas propaganda like starving dogs.
Funny. Some saw right through their bullshit. Again, using the citizenry as pawns for their propaganda campaign.
These are the same people who believed Smollett.
Who to believe? MAGA or our lyin eyes?
Do you have proof that this is a result of something the Israelis are responsible for, or did you fall for the same hoax the NYT did?
Being as how the photo is from March of 2024 and of questionable origin (other than Mohamad Safa on "X" SMH) this one may be of a more believable situational analysis...........
What did Smollett do/say?
Not all the civilians can afford the inflated prices Hamas is charging for the food they steal off the aid trucks.
I recall seeing previously photos used by Hamas that were from a situation years before ELSEWHERE that were detected. Anyway, since some still believe that it was the Israelis, and not a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket that killed 500 at a Gaza City Hospital parking lot (a lie STILL being told on news broadcasts I've watched recnetly) then the bleeding hearts of the world can continue to weep for the terrorists' kids.
Some of this may be believable once Israel allows foreign media into Gaza. Right now, the word of the IDF is not sufficient.
A start
In the video Hemmer says he only visited locations where the GHF took him
-
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is not officially affiliated with any political party, but its leadership, funding sources, and operational model suggest strong alignment with right-wing political interests, particularly in the U.S. and Israel.
🧭 Indicators of Right-Wing Affiliation
Leadership: GHF’s executive chairman is Johnnie Moore Jr., a prominent American evangelical leader who has publicly supported Donald Trump’s proposal for U.S. control over Gaza. Evangelical leaders often align with conservative and right-wing politics.
Political Backing: The foundation is backed by the Israeli government and the U.S. government under Trump and Secretary Rubio, both of which are associated with right-wing policies.
Operational Model:
GHF bypasses the United Nations and traditional humanitarian agencies, which it accuses of allowing aid diversion to Hamas.
Its aid distribution is secured by private American contractors and monitored by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Critics, including over 170 NGOs and the UN, accuse GHF of “weaponizing aid” and creating militarized zones that endanger civilians2.
🧨 Controversies and Criticism
GHF has been accused of contributing to mass civilian deaths at aid sites, with reports of U.S. contractors and Israeli forces firing on starving Palestinians.
Human rights groups warn that GHF may be complicit in war crimes, and its operations have been described as “slaughter masquerading as aid” by Doctors Without Borders.
The UN Relief and Works Agency called GHF an “abomination” that delivers “starvation and gunfire”.
🧠 Summary
While GHF is technically a private nonprofit, its ideological and operational ties to right-wing figures, governments, and policies strongly suggest that it functions as a right-wing-aligned organization, especially in the context of Middle East geopolitics and humanitarian aid.
Would you like a deeper dive into how GHF compares to traditional aid models or how its political affiliations affect its legitimacy on the global stage?
The claims of Israel will be more believable when and if foreign media are allowed in to do their own investigating and reporting.
No, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is not considered a left-wing organization. In fact, its structure, leadership, and political affiliations point strongly in the opposite direction.
That is why I said it was a start. Do you believe it was all set up for a foreign journalist (kinda) and then taken down when he left?
I no longer put any credence to what the UN has to say. When I was 16 years old, touring the UN building, watching the iconic Krishna Menon addessing the GA, I thought it would be the answer for lasting peace for the rest of the world. Now I am of the opinion that it is the most antisemitic organization in the world, and useless in controlling the conflicts and terrorism that exist today. I would trust Satan more than I trust the UN and would love to see that Manhattan structure bulldozed into the East River. .
If you're asking me to make a choice between the terrorists Hamas Health Ministry and COGAT, well, you can choose whatever your heart desires, but I think I prefer what COGAT has to say. Hamas are exceptionally successful fooling the world with their propaganda war.
