For months much of the world, including the U.S. legacy media, demanded that Israel allow more aid into Gaza, and now that it has done so, the Tuesday edition of CBS Mornings is not satisfied. According to co-host Gayle King and correspondent Debora Patta, you simply cannot trust a new group that uses American contractors for security to deliver the aid, even as Patta admitted the usual system simply didn’t work.
King set the scene, “A controversial new aid group began operations in Gaza today. The so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is backed by the U.S. and Israel and uses American contractors for security, but the U.N. and other critics say this group could lead to the displacement of even more Palestinians. Recently, Israel has been blocking most aid to Gaza as it works to destroy Hamas and free the hostages. Debora Patta has the latest.”
