UN says Gaza employee diverted rubble on PA instructions

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has said that Tel Aviv had met all of Ankara’s preconditions for normalizing ties, which were severed in 2010 after Israeli commandos stormed a Gaza-bound Turkish aid vessel in worldwide waters.

“I’m going to say something now that some of you will not believe. But I’m going to say it anyway because it’s true”, Mr Netanyahu said in a video released on Thursday.

“Innocent and impoverished Palestinians were denied vital aid supplied from nations around the world”.

According to the Shin Bet, Bursh abused his power to help Hamas, either by renovating their houses or informing them of such renovations when they held benefit for the group. “Israel that facilitates the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza every single day or Hamas, that robs Palestinian children of that very same aid?”

Since 2008, Israel has fought three wars in Gaza with Hamas, which is branded a terrorist organisation by Israel, the United States and the European Union.

“They are trying to undermine the work of worldwide aid organisations”, he said.

Cardoza-Moore contacted World Vision last week to clarify how an Evangelical Christian organization could hire a Hamas terrorist sympathizer to distribute aid money -to date she has not received a response.

Both agencies said they would investigate the allegations and called for the men to receive a fair trial.

Mohammed Halabi, head of World Vision in the Strip, was arrested in June by Israel’s internal security service Shin Bet, and will now appear before a court, charged with running a “sophisticated” funding mechanism.

“It is tragic that this issue is taking us away from our work on important issues of injustice and poverty affecting billions of children around the world”.

Aid workers privately admit to pressure from Hamas.

Israel has enacted blockades on Gaza for many years, with several open armed conflicts between Hamas and the Israeli state. “The time has come to halt all aid money into the Gaza Strip as long as Hamas is in control”.

A land, air and sea blockade has been in place ever since, driving unemployment, food insecurity and dependency on aid according to the UN.

Ayed Abu Qtaish of the rights group Defence for Children International Palestine, speaking also to Al Jazeera, pointed to Israel’s killing of Palestinian children.
