The Evangelical Monk and Advisor to President Donald Trump on inter -religious issues was appointed the new director of the SO called the Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF), while the contradictory initiative begun by Israel, and the United States are faced with criticism and growing verification after several murders. This controls in the strip.
In the new director – Johnny Moore, a member of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom and the founder of the advisory company Kairos Company; He was appointed after the resignation of Jake Wood, exmarin, who said that the work of the GF cannot be based on the “humanitarian principles of mankind, neutrality, impartiality and independence.”
Moore was a firm defender of the fund and was outraged by public criticism in relation to his activity in Gaza. He even responded through the social network X General Secretary of the UN, Antonio Gaterryz, this information about the Palestinians of the dead and the wounded, when they went to get help, is a “lie … spreads by terrorists”.
Moore highly appreciated the delivery of more than 7 million food rations from GHF last week – as the organization reported, but was not independently verified – and also criticized the information in the media about muddy finances and the chaotic implementation of the mechanism for distribution of assistance in gas. “GHF delivered 7 million dishes in just 8 days in one of the most difficult and dangerous humanitarian crises of our time. This is not easy, but important, ”he said in X.
Meanwhile, other outstanding partners continue to abandon GHF, which has explicit support of US government officials and the cooperation of the Israeli authorities in the field. Boston Consulting Group (BCG), US consultant, announced the cancellation of her contract with GHF on Tuesday, a week after they opened first aid distribution centers in the lane.
On Tuesday, the International Red Cross Committee confirmed that at least 27 Gazati died, and another 157 were injured, after the Israeli forces opened fire against the crowd, which was waiting for food delivery next to one of the GHF distribution centers in the south of Gaza. More than 30 Palestinians also died on Sunday for Israeli shots when they were going to get food.
“GHF believes that the service of the people of Gaza with dignity and compassion should be our main priority,” Moore said in his statement. “We invite those who join us, and ask for extreme caution, sharing not verified information from sources that have repeatedly issued clearly false information.” According to MUR, “false complaints of violence in our places have a restraining influence on the local population, and we cannot represent serious harm to the community for extreme need.”
The biography on the website Kairos describes Moore as “the outstanding gospel friend of Israel” and claims that he played an important role in the approach of the United States to the governments of the Middle East, including the signing of Abraham’s agreements in 2020 to normalize relations between Israel and several countries such as the United Arab Emirates. John Acry, the temporary director of GHF, emphasized that Moore has a “proven leadership trajectory with principles and practical humanitarian work.”
Nevertheless, the meager experience of Moore in important useful organizations makes it difficult to refute criticism about the lack of independence of the GFU and experience in managing a large humanitarian crisis, such as gas.
The BCG consultant, who, in the visible, managed the logistics planning of GHF, left the project at the end of last week, and the representative told the CNN chain that “the work of subsequent (…) lacked the adoption of interested parties and stopped on May 30.”
BCG also told the press that he put an employee responsible for monitoring the administrative license project in anticipation of internal consideration. Newspaper The Washington PostThis was the first to announce BCG bonds with GHF was the consulting group to fundamental in planning the operations of the Fund in the Palestinian Enclave.
Three people are closely connected with GHF and BCG, said that the media, that it would be difficult to continue to work without consultants who helped to create it. “In addition to assistance in developing the initiative in close coordination with Israel, BCG set prices for payment and equipment for contractors, which built four distribution centers in the south of Gaza to provide assistance,” the newspaper said. Contractors from a private security company in the United States, which operates within the framework of facilities, while Israeli defense forces control the perimeter.
