Jessica Le Masurier, France 24’s correspondent at the United Nations in New York, gives an update following the UN’s refusal of an Israeli proposal. This proposal aimed to lift the two-month blockade on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, and would have transferred control of aid distribution from the UN to private security contractors. The UN argues that this plan essentially weaponizes aid, as Palestinians in northern Gaza would have to vacate the area to receive food, coinciding with Israel’s plans to intensify military operations in the region.
