Multiple internal reviews by Israeli military officials and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have found no evidence that Hamas systematically stole humanitarian aid intended for Gaza. These findings directly contradict longstanding claims by Israeli officials and some US politicians, who have used alleged aid theft as justification for restricting or blocking aid to Gaza. The reports indicate that while some aid has been lost or stolen, there is no proof that Hamas was responsible for widespread diversion. The narrative of systematic theft has fueled international debate and influenced policy, even as Gaza faces a severe hunger crisis. The new evidence is prompting calls for a reassessment of aid policies and greater accountability for claims made by governments.
