On Monday, a nonprofit group backed by Israel and the United States began distributing limited amounts of aid in Gaza, despite objections from the United Nations, which says the mission could force the further displacement of Palestinians and likely violates international humanitarian law. Other aid agencies, including Mercy Corps and Save the Children, have distanced themselves from the NGO, known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. It began operations just hours after its executive director, Jake Wood, announced his resignation. Wood wrote a statement calling for Israel to allow more aid into Gaza, adding, “It is clear that it is not possible to implement this plan while also strictly adhering to the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence, which I will not abandon.”

On Sunday, Israel’s military announced plans to capture 75% of the Gaza Strip within two months and to force Palestinian civilians into just a quarter of Gaza’s territory. The announcement came as U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Jerusalem and toured Gaza’s border with members of Israel’s army.
