Israel accused Hamas of murdering five Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid workers, calling it a deliberate act of "weaponizing suffering." The Israeli Foreign Ministry, in an X post, condemned the killings and criticized the UN's lack of response. The GHF, which assumed aid distribution after Israel banned international agencies, has been accused of forcibly displacing Palestinians. Israel alleges Hamas uses the aid distribution to further its aims.
