The Israeli military campaign in Gaza has resulted in the comprehensive collapse of the territory’s infrastructure. Verified assessments by combat veterans, humanitarian personnel, and legal monitors confirm the extent of physical destruction, civilian displacement, and institutional collapse. Funding from the United States directly supports this campaign. In Rafah, extensive structural damage has rendered buildings uninhabitable. Former residences have been reduced to rubble, and the displaced residents are now living in temporary shelters and “tent cities”. According to UN and WHO reports, essential services, including healthcare, education, water and sanitation, and civic administration, have effectively collapsed in large parts of northern Gaza.
Jabalia and Gaza city are now largely inaccessible due to extensive damage and hostilities and as a result, northern Gaza remains sealed off from humanitarian assistance. The full civilian death toll is unverified due to a lack of consistent monitoring. As of August 3, 2025, the Gaza Health Ministry reports that over 100,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 146,000 injured since the onset of hostilities on October 7, 2023. However, independent analyses suggest that the actual death toll may be significantly higher due to underreporting and the collapse of medical infrastructure. For instance, a study published on the Harvard Dataverse indicates that approximately 377,000 Palestinians are currently missing, and such a large number can’t be hiding without food and water. Due to the ongoing blockade and restrictions on aid, the remaining population in Gaza faces acute hunger and has little to no access to medical care. UN agencies have warned of engineered famine conditions and the total collapse of the health system.
Tucker Carlson interview of Lieutenant Colonel Tony Aguilar was explosive. He was a credible first hand source, a recently retired officer from the United States Army with 25 years of active duty, who was employed by UG Solutions in May 2025. His assignment involved overseeing security operations for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a new entity replacing United Nations-led relief systems. Aguilar accepted the position on the basis of humanitarian duty. Upon arrival, he encountered logistical arrangements and operational conduct that contravened established international legal frameworks.
GHF maintains only four operational food distribution points within Gaza. Prior to the blockade and destruction, over 400 such facilities existed. Three of the current sites are positioned in the extreme south, adjacent to ongoing Israeli combat activity. The fourth is in central Gaza, also adjacent to an Israeli tank unit. None of the sites are located in the north, where the population remains concentrated and where humanitarian conditions are most acute. Establishing distribution centres within or beside combat zones violates Articles 8 and 18 of Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, which govern the neutrality and protection of humanitarian operations.
Leadership of the foundation includes individuals with no demonstrated background in emergency logistics, international development, or humanitarian field operations. Johnny Moore, the acting head of GHF, is a U.S.-based religious figure with no prior operational record in aid work. He made a brief visit to one site under armed escort. During this visit, weapons fire was recorded in the vicinity. Jake Wood, the designated operations director, resigned on the programme’s first day, citing systemic failure to meet basic planning and ethical standards. Boston Consulting Group also terminated its involvement shortly thereafter. These developments are formally documented in internal correspondence and resignation records.

Between 26 May and 1 August 2025, the foundation reported the delivery of 96 million meals. Based on Gaza’s population estimate of 2.2 million, this equates to 15 full days of caloric provision over a 65-day period. The discrepancy reflects a 77% shortfall in expected food distribution. The transition from United Nations oversight to GHF administration correlates with a statistically verifiable decline in aid effectiveness and geographical reach.
Current field conditions indicate the presence of siege warfare tactics and deliberate displacement measures. Access to essential resources including food, potable water, electricity, and basic healthcare is blocked. The Israeli government has publicly and operationally designated the entire civilian population as an extension of the hostile actor Hamas. U.S. security contractors report that Israeli military personnel refer to food distribution as aiding the enemy. Such blanket designations violate Article 50 of Additional Protocol I and customary international humanitarian law, which prohibit collective punishment and require combatant-civilian distinction.
Aid recipients include vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Mortality from starvation and untreated injury is increasing. No functioning infrastructure exists to process water, generate power, or facilitate civilian trade. Gaza’s economy is completely defunct. The territory is fully enclosed, and all access is externally controlled.
The current location of distribution centres corresponds with the displacement corridors established by Israeli military orders. This creates a direct linkage between forced relocation and aid availability. Northern residents, who remain in place due to injury, age, or lack of transport, receive no assistance. The U.S. contractors who support the distribution process entered Israel under tourist visa classifications. While armed and active in a conflict environment, their status was undocumented by formal diplomatic channels. No international observers were present to monitor field conditions or security practices.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has faced significant scrutiny regarding its financial governance and operational transparency. Swiss authorities reported that GHF’s Geneva branch failed to meet legal obligations, including lacking board members and a valid postal address, leading to a 30-day compliance notice. Additionally, major financial institutions such as UBS and Goldman Sachs declined to open accounts for GHF, citing compliance concerns . Humanitarian organizations, including Save the Children, suspended their collaboration with GHF due to safety concerns, with reports indicating over 500 Palestinian deaths near GHF distribution points since May 27, 2025 . Furthermore, a group of 15 human rights and legal organizations has called for an end to GHF’s privatized aid model, urging a return to UN-led humanitarian channels .
Colonel Aguilar communicated his concerns through official internal reporting mechanisms. Despite the seriousness of the legal and operational violations, corrective action was not initiated. He then compiled and submitted a detailed report outlining observed breaches of humanitarian law and operational standards. His testimony aligns with assessments from Médecins Sans Frontières, Human Rights Watch, and the Norwegian Refugee Council, all of which have documented similar patterns of obstruction, starvation, and denial of aid access. Independent investigations by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor and Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights confirm that conditions in northern Gaza meet the threshold of Article 14 of the Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions, which define unlawful denial of humanitarian relief as a grave breach. His findings are consistent with emerging data from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and international food security assessments conducted by the World Food Programme and the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
Collected documentation now includes formal resignations, photographic and audio evidence, GPS-tagged distribution maps, and field testimonies. These materials demonstrate the use of humanitarian infrastructure as a strategic shield for ongoing military operations. They also show the logistical and financial participation of U.S.-based contractors in activities that contravene legal norms. This material meets evidentiary standards required under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and other international legal instruments.
The United States remains deeply embedded in the operational structure of the Gaza campaign. Military, financial, and logistical support continues. The legal distinction between complicit support and direct perpetration is now subject to legal examination. The threshold for state responsibility under international humanitarian law has been reached. Independent investigation is warranted and overdue. The civilian population has no formal protection mechanism.
Absent corrective action, existing documentation will form the basis of future judicial and investigatory proceedings. International legal bodies will assess accountability using data and reports already compiled. Institutional and individual responsibilities will be evaluated against legal obligations under customary and treaty-based law. The failure to intervene, investigate, or modify current policy will be measured by outcome, not intent.
Under the direction of the current U.S. administration, senior envoys have dismissed verified evidence of starvation in Gaza. In a recording obtained by Israel’s Kann News, David Witkoff rejected reports of famine as “Hamas nonsense” and claimed malnourished children suffer from unrelated medical conditions. His remarks contradicted field assessments by the World Food Programme and the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, which have confirmed widespread starvation and infrastructure collapse across the territory. Statements made by Rabbi Ronen Shaulov during a public address went further. He stated that every child in Gaza should be left to starve. He justified this position by citing religious doctrine and referring to Palestinians as descendants of Amalek, a Biblical enemy. These declarations support existing legal analyses that cite intent as a key factor in assessing the charge of genocide under the 1948 Convention.
Efforts to conceal or discredit such evidence have expanded beyond Gaza. United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese was sanctioned by the United States in June 2025. Her published report to the UN Human Rights Council stated that Israeli military conduct in Gaza displayed characteristics consistent with genocidal intent. Albanese’s findings were supported by field research, casualty data, and direct statements made by Israeli military and political figures. Following her censure, human rights groups including the Centre for Constitutional Rights condemned the sanctions as obstruction of lawful monitoring. Albanese described the coordinated backlash against legal professionals, aid workers, and academics as a system to silence documentation and obstruct independent oversight.
In the academic sector, dismissals of staff for Palestinian advocacy have increased sharply since October 2023. The American Association of University Professors documented a 230 percent increase in terminations related to Palestine-linked speech. Tenured professors and adjunct staff have lost their employment after posting content that included poetry, photographs, or references to occupied territories. Palestine Legal and affiliated monitoring groups refer to this as the formalisation of the “Palestine exception” to free speech protections. In the media sector, over 150 Palestinian journalists have been killed inside Gaza since the current conflict began. Reporters Without Borders stated that the pattern of targeting suggests deliberate intent rather than battlefield error. Many were killed while wearing marked press gear or reporting from locations registered with military authorities. International news agencies reported multiple incidents in which crews were tracked after filing stories critical of Israeli military operations.
Outside the war zone, Western journalists have faced institutional penalties for sharing verified information. In December 2024, Australian broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf was dismissed after reposting a Human Rights Watch report documenting starvation in Gaza. In Canada, journalists Zahraa al-Akhrass and Yara Jamal were removed from their roles after pressure from lobby groups that advocate for Israeli positions in foreign press coverage. Staff at the BBC have resigned in protest against internal directives restricting use of the terms “occupation” and “genocide.” One senior editor said that editorial policy now prevents the use of legal terminology even where applicable under international law. Media watchdogs have released internal memos from European platforms instructing staff to minimise Palestinian death counts in headlines and lead paragraphs.
Artists and public figures who support Palestine have experienced employment penalties, visa issues, and government investigation. Actress Melissa Barrera was removed from a major U.S. film production after referring to Israeli military actions as ethnic cleansing. At the Glastonbury Festival, UK performers who displayed Palestinian flags during performances were later investigated under anti-terror legislation. Musician Bob Vylan confirmed that his U.S. visa was revoked shortly after criticising Israeli policy from the stage. Legal experts from Index on Censorship and Liberty have warned that artistic expression is now being interpreted as criminal speech when critical of Israel. These incidents coincide with wider surveillance and prosecution of political figures and activists within the United States and United Kingdom.
Congressman Zohran Mamdani, a U.S. citizen and New York lawmaker, was labelled “illegal” and “pro-Hamas” by former President Trump. Trump called for his arrest under dormant laws originally written during the McCarthy era. The Department of Justice confirmed that Mamdani’s immigration record was under review. GOP officials have called for his denaturalisation on the basis of political speech. No formal charges have been brought. The threat of legal punishment for criticism of Israeli policy marks a shift in how public speech is regulated in Western democracies.
Legal retaliation has extended to international judges and court officials. Following arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant, the U.S. announced sanctions on several ICC judges. Prosecutor Karim Khan reportedly received direct threats from Israeli officials warning him to halt proceedings. The sanctions were condemned by Human Rights Watch and legal scholars as interference in lawful judicial processes. Four senior judges of the ICC were also placed under U.S. sanction shortly thereafter. These actions indicate a policy of impeding legal accountability mechanisms by applying financial and political pressure on their staff.
Global reaction has begun to shift. Countries in the Global South, including South Africa, Bolivia, and Malaysia, have imposed sanctions on companies linked to the occupation. Slovenia and Canada have banned travel for Israeli ministers known for public incitement. Turkey has suspended all trade with Israel until the blockade on Gaza is lifted. The United Kingdom paused free trade negotiations pending review of humanitarian violations. Josep Borrell, the former EU foreign policy chief, stated that Israel is no longer in compliance with its EU association agreement, which mandates respect for human rights as a precondition for trade benefits. Despite this, EU leadership has not suspended the agreement or applied any of the penalties available under its framework.
The EU’s agreement with Israel gives it full access to key European funding and exchange programmes, including Horizon and Erasmus. Article 2 of the agreement stipulates that continued access depends on observance of international law. Israel’s targeting of civilians, destruction of infrastructure, and obstruction of humanitarian relief all fall within clear categories of grave breaches under the Geneva Conventions. Borrell confirmed that failure to suspend the agreement now constitutes a legal violation by the EU. No such action has been taken, and no formal warning has been issued to Israeli authorities.
International courts and legal organisations continue to collect evidence, including data from UN bodies, aid groups, and independent monitors. Colonel Aguilar’s testimony, along with corroborating reports from Médecins Sans Frontières, the World Food Programme, and the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, confirms that northern Gaza meets the conditions for famine and blocked relief. Photographic records, resignation letters, GPS-tagged aid maps, and audio logs have been assembled to document the targeting of civilian infrastructure and the misuse of humanitarian routes. These materials meet evidentiary standards under the Rome Statute and have been submitted to multiple review bodies. Legal analysis now focuses on state responsibility, including complicity by third-party states.
Military, financial, and logistical support provided by the United States to the Israeli campaign meets criteria for shared responsibility under international humanitarian law. Contractors working for American firms were deployed in combat zones under tourist visas and outside diplomatic protocols. Arms were used to protect food centres placed within active war theatres. Contractors confirm that Israeli units referred to food distribution as aiding the enemy. Aid access has been withheld from areas where displaced civilians refused to evacuate. These are violations of Articles 8, 14, and 50 of the Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions. Independent investigation has been requested by multiple human rights organisations. No response has been received from the governments of the United States, Israel, or their private security partners. After all is said and done, people must know it is the shadowy British Establishment behind the creation of the apartheid state of Israel and every policy to date up to the current genocide and ethnic cleansing.
