Anne Herzberg, legal counsel for NGO Monitor, told Fox News Digital that the wording is important.
“This is the most shocking,” she told Fox News numbers. “The government clearly acknowledges the risks of UK taxpayer funding. It can reach Hamas, But they care more about its appearance than the real danger of supporting terrorism. ”
Herzberg explained that the NGO Monitor found the Ministry of Foreign Affairs document originally released in November 2022, which was in an extensive investigation into the flow of humanitarian aid in Gaza.

But Herzberg said the November 2022 document – celebrating Gaza’s “strengthening partnership with the Ministry of Social Development” along with UNICEF’s own March 2024 update, suggesting a deeper contradiction.

UNICEF’s March 2024 report noted that more than 540,000 Gazans were supported after the October 7 attack and supplemented the partnership with MOSD “helps to ensure access to the social registry and leads to the target of the most vulnerable families.” NGO’s monitor noted that MOSD in Gaza was led by Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas Politburo member, approved by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2024.

“Even after October 7, we’ve been seeing … they still refuse to deal with this transfer,” Herzberg claimed. “No transparency, no oversight, the United Nations is actively trying to stop Israel, the United States and other allies from working to improve the humanitarian aid.”

The NGO Monitor report further details how MOSD is run by senior Hamas officials, including Ghazi Hamad, who publicly praised the October 7 massacre and was approved by the U.S. Treasury Department in November 2024.

Udi Levi, head of the counter-terrorism financing department at Mossad, told Israel Channel 12: “The UK is becoming the central country to transfer funds to Hamas, including after October 7.”
The watchdog also raised broader concerns about the role of other United Nations agencies in Gaza, noting that at least 12 were active in striptease. Herzberg said it was unclear whether these institutions had similar transfer risks.

The dispute unfolds against the backdrop of rising diplomatic tensions. Last month, Britain suspended trade talks with Israel on the grounds of humanitarian concerns. Foreign Minister David Lammy criticized the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza and called for the restoration of aid and electricity.
NGO Monitor said the debate highlighted the urgent need for a new international mechanism to monitor the delivery of aid in Gaza, which bypassed Hamas-controlled institutions and ensured that civilian aid was protected from exploitation.
