Israeli restaurateur Shahar Segal, known for his global restaurant empire, is now the Israeli spokesperson for the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). GHF, which has received US funding, distributes food in Gaza under Israeli military supervision, a practice criticized by the UN and other humanitarian groups for endangering civilians. Hundreds of Palestinians have reportedly been killed approaching GHF food distribution sites. Segal defends GHF, claiming it's the only way to provide aid without supporting Hamas, while critics accuse it of complicity in war crimes. The US, while acknowledging criticisms, supports GHF, claiming killings are exaggerated by Hamas.
