The State Department is weighing a $500 million allocation for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), aiming to be the largest donor to Palestinian aid efforts. The GHF requires about $100 million monthly to function, but recent incidents near its aid centers raised safety concerns.
Officials are split on funding; some believe it will enhance conditions while others worry about increased U.S. liability. Discussions continue, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Trump have not yet been briefed.
An Israeli official mentioned that GHF received $100 million from anonymous sources, while Israel reportedly allocated over $200 million to GHF in secret. There are conflicting claims regarding funding from Qatar and Turkey, which officials have denied and Israeli media have rescinded.
