Huckabee Slams UN, NYT, and Hamas Over Gaza Aid “Chaos”
by Worthy News Jerusalem Bureau Staff
(Worthy News) – U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Sunday sharply criticized the United Nations, The New York Times, and Hamas for what he called a “complete balagan”–the Hebrew word for chaos–regarding the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza. In a post on X, Huckabee accused the three of spreading propaganda that derailed ceasefire efforts, discredited legitimate aid operations, and ultimately prolonged the suffering of hostages and civilians.
“Are the UN, NY Times, and Hamas all happy now? I’m sure Hamas is,” Huckabee wrote. “Their lies and propaganda destroyed the cease-fire deal, tried to discredit the safe and functioning GHF effort, emboldened Hamas, and resulted in this complete balagan! Saddest of all, hostage families are left with prolonged grief.”
His remarks echoed growing frustrations within the Israeli government over what they see as misinformation and logistical failures undermining aid efforts. Israeli officials have defended their cooperation in facilitating humanitarian aid, pointing to consistent delivery and coordination, especially with partners such as the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.
On Sunday, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin spoke from the Kerem Shalom Crossing, stating that more than 250 trucks of aid had entered Gaza over the past week. He also highlighted the success of recent airdrops and humanitarian pauses. “Israel is not blocking humanitarian aid. We are facilitating its entry every single day,” Defrin said, dismissing claims of starvation as unfounded.
The American Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), whose operations have been the target of online criticism, reported distributing over 20,000 food aid boxes across three distribution sites on Sunday. Interim GHF director John Acree, who toured Kerem Shalom, applauded his team’s work and took aim at critics. “Help the people of Gaza or make way for those who will,” Acree said. “This is no time for politics with people’s lives.”
GHF claims it has delivered nearly 95 million meals to date, with Sunday’s operations reportedly proceeding without disruption and under tight security.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir intensified the criticism, denouncing the current aid policy as detrimental to Israel’s military goals. “The ‘humanitarian’ aid equals sustaining the enemy,” he said. “Prime minister, stop spitting in the face of our fighters!”
Meanwhile, Israeli military coordination agency COGAT confirmed on Monday that more than 120 trucks of aid were distributed by the U.N. and international groups on Sunday. Another 180 trucks entered Gaza and were queued for pickup. COGAT emphasized that the bottleneck in aid delivery stems from inadequate collection efforts by relief agencies, not Israeli obstruction.
Yisrael Beitenu lawmaker Evgeny Sova called for a post-war transition plan that removes Israel from the role of aid provider altogether. “Israel will not allow its territory to be used to deliver any aid. Israel will not provide anything to the Strip,” Sova said, advocating for full responsibility to be transferred to the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and European nations. “If they feel responsible for the Gazans, then the pressure must be on Hamas and not on Israel.”
Sova also criticized the continued flow of aid into Gaza amid minimal IDF engagement. “The IDF is hardly maneuvering in the Strip–it’s carrying out policing missions–while the enemy continues to receive all the aid it needs. This is absurd,” he said.
The war of words reflects deepening divisions over the Gaza aid operation, as international criticism mounts and Israel seeks to reframe the narrative surrounding its military and humanitarian posture.
