Huckabee did not offer many details about the logistics of this new initiative, but stressed that Israel will guarantee the security of deliveries.
“The first is that food is distributed efficientlybut also that they are distributed safely within Gaza To people who need them desperately. The other factor, and this is important, is that all this is done so that Hamas cannot put his hands on it“.
Huckabee said Israel will only provide security details to ensure that the aid reaches the people to whom it is intended. However, the system in general will be managed independently.
Israel has expressed concern about looting and the diversion of the aid for Hamas fighters, accusations that have been refuted by UN officials and humanitarian workers. In the light of these concerns, Israel continues to apply its blockade to essential supplies such as food, fuel and medicines.
Although Israel has declared that it will only allow the entry of help in Gaza through a system that allows it to supervise the distribution, Huckabee stressed that this new system should not be described as Israeli.

UN officials claim that Any agreement in which Israel decides who receives what and how much violates the humanitarian principles of the organizationwhich swore to guarantee humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality.
