Surely even the diehard supporters of Israel condemn this almost daily killing of Palestinians.

Dreadful.

I am a diehard supporter of Israel and I most certainly condemn the killing of civilians, Israeli and Palestinian, by Hamas.  The disregard for Palestinian lives shown by Hamas is indeed dreadful and should be condemned by everyone.

The US State Department has approved $30 million in funding for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the State Department said on Thursday, calling on other countries to also support the controversial group delivering aid in war-torn Gaza.

 

"This support is simply the latest iteration of President Trump's and Secretary Rubio's pursuit of peace in the region," State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott told reporters at a regular news briefing.

 

Reuters was first to report the move earlier this week.

“We call on other countries to also support the GHF….a track record of distributing over 46 million meals distributed to date, all while preventing Hamas’ looting is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and should be COMMENDED and SUPPORTED. From day one, we said we are open to creative solutions that securely provide aid to those in Gaza and protects Israel. The support is simply the latest iteration of 
@POTUS's and @SecRubio's pursuit of peace in the region.” @StateDept  Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Piggot
