A State Department cable reveals Hamas has placed bounties on American aid workers in Gaza and demands the cessation of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) operations as a ceasefire condition. The GHF, a joint U.S.-Israeli effort, has effectively delivered aid unlike UNRWA, which Hamas has exploited. Hamas's demand is reportedly being rejected by the U.S., highlighting the conflict over aid distribution and Hamas's actions against GHF workers and security personnel. The U.N.'s stance is criticized for bolstering Hamas's narrative and hindering effective aid delivery.
