Coordinator of Israel’s government activities on its territory (Cogat) oversees Gaza’s humanitarian and civil efforts, and has published two reveal dialogues between Gaza residents and Gaza Coordinator and Liaison Officer Manager (CLA).
Gaza resident (Israeli) in Cogat said he told a CLA official how Hamas could destroy the aid system through violence and manipulation. “Hamas opened fire on Gaza residents, sent false claims about the IDF fire near the aid allocation site, released fabricated data about large numbers of casualties, and recycled fake footage,” the testimony stated.

State Department spokesman Tammy Bruce acknowledged that Hamas used violence to “interference in the delivery of aid to the people of Gaza.”
According to Kogat’s translation, “That’s how Hamas works – they deliberately shot people and hoped it would look like it was an army was a shooting, so no one would get close to the aid allocation area.”
Another Gaza resident told CLA officer Palestinians try to get aid “Meet the thugs on the road” and “those thugs will surely kill 2, 3, 5 people.”

Tensions rise as Israel strongly denies firing on Palestinians at humanitarian sites in Gaza
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a group supported by the United States and Israel, faces strong opposition to reports of violence and even deadly events surrounding its safe locations. A GHF spokesperson responded to a video released by Cogat, “Hamas is working to destroy the Humanitarian Foundation of Gaza because our model is working.”
GHF withdraws claims that Palestinians were killed at their location. However, it does say that Hamas killed some workers, “bounty to our American workers and threaten civilians to receive assistance.”
“So far, there has been no casualties near or around any of our sites. Many of the so-called incidents are not relevant to our site, but rather intentionally misleading information is curated by the Hamas-controlled (GAZA) Department of Health,” a GHF spokesperson told Fox News News News Digital.

Despite strong opposition, the GHF is encouraging other organizations, including its critics, to join its mission to aid the people of Gaza while ensuring that Hamas does not make any move.
“Ultimately, the solution is more helpful. If other groups join us, we can scale up… we can also work with United Nations and other groups “Other ways to make sure their aid reaches the right people,” a GHF spokesperson said.
