The answer is no. We have been supplying them with aid as well as the U.S., but unfortunately, it wasn\u2019t distributed to the citizens themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere are those who are hungry since Hamas has taken all of the food and they don\u2019t have enough money to pay Hamas on the black market,\u201d a former <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">senior Israeli defense official\u00a0told Klein. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The official added that gangs loyal to Hamas seize the food and aid supplies at gunpoint. \u201cThe situation in Gaza is akin to hunger in New York, where homeless people suffer not from a lack of food but from a lack of money to purchase it \u2026 This condition reinforces [Hamas\u2019] narrative, portraying hunger as a consequence of external forces and legitimizing their control.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former defense official stated that Hamas has deliberately shot down food drops from the United States, Jordan, and the UAE in order to promote the idea that Gazans are starving. He conjectured that if food aid were successful, Hamas would lose clout in Gaza and lose control of the populace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1710003561508000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0D6t8_i4QXTuHRYfguE6Bl\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A third defense official said, \u201cWe should have categorized this war as the Israel-Iran War or even the West-vs-Iran war,\u201d referring to Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and other terrorist groups, all connected to Iran\u2019s theocratic, Israel-hating regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He noted that Israel has been working to eliminate proxies of Iran, the world\u2019s largest state sponsor of terrorism, adding, \u201cThe Americans should also be actively eliminating Hamas proxies because it is in their interest. Unfortunately, and although we have tried to convince them to do so, they haven\u2019t yet understood the importance \u2013 not only from an Israeli perspective, but actually from their own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report states that the terrorist group Hamas has been commandeering food supplies sent into Gaza and selling them at exorbitant prices on the black market.
