US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
From the CEO of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) There's a way to aid Gaza. I know, my foundation just helped deliver 7 million meals... without incident Hamas continues to spreads its lies as the Gaza aid system fails. Our Gaza Humanitarian Foundation offers an alternative approach It’s time to be honest about humanitarian assistance in Gaza. The incumbent system is morally bankrupt. Grift is not a bug—it is a feature. The decades-long cycle of empty statements, inflated budgets, and institutionalized failure has created a self-sustaining machine that feeds off misery, undermines peace, and instinctively demonizes America and Israel. The current system fuels fate. Here’s an example. Just days ago, the world should have celebrated the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's week of success. Over 7 million meals were delivered free to Gazans -- no trucks seized, no aid diverted, no violence at distribution sites. The system worked despite Gaza's volatility. Gazans spontaneously thanked America and President Donald Trump. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/theres-way-aid-gaza-i-know-my-foundation-helped-deliver-7-million-meals-without-incident -

Report Fugitive Ex-Monk Returns from Germany, Faces Temple Fund Charges
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post After seven years on the run, Phra Phrom Methee, a former assistant abbot of Wat Samphanthawong in Bangkok, has returned to Thailand to face charges related to a major temple fund embezzlement scandal. The 84-year-old, whose lay name is Chamnong Iamintra, arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport from Frankfurt early on Thursday morning. Arriving in a wheelchair, Phra Phrom Methee was swiftly escorted to Bangkok's Anti-Corruption Division for questioning. His return marks a significant development in a case that shook the foundation of the Thai Buddhist community when it first emerged. In 2018, a scandal erupted involving the embezzlement of millions of baht intended for temple development and Buddhist studies, with funds allocated by the National Office of Buddhism. Phra Phrom Methee was one among seven monks whose monastic ranks were revoked due to alleged involvement in the financial misconduct. On May 24th of the same year, police conducted raids on Wat Samphanthawong, Wat Sa Ket, and Wat Sam Phraya in Bangkok, aiming to apprehend senior monks linked to the scandal. However, Phra Phrom Methee was in Phitsanulok province at the time and managed to evade capture. Instead of returning to Bangkok, he travelled to Nakhon Phanom, crossed into Laos via the Mekong River, reached Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, and finally fled to Germany on a Qatar Airways flight from Frankfurt. Not only was he stripped of his monastic status, but he was also expelled from the Sangha Supreme Council, marking his complete fall from grace within the monastic community. A police source indicates that Phra Phrom Methee faces charges of supporting malfeasance and money laundering. Despite denying all allegations, he was released on a bail set at 400,000 baht. His return and the ensuing legal proceedings are expected to shed more light on the extensive corruption case and its impact on Thailand’s religious and financial sectors. The nation watches closely as this high-profile case continues to unfold. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-06-06
