US says Hamas seized first aid shipment that entered Gaza via reopened Erez crossing

[IsraelTimes] State Department says UN ’in the process or has by now recovered’ the humanitarian assistance stolen by terror group, the ’first widespread case of diversion’ acknowledged by US
Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
managed to seize a major shipment of humanitarian aid that was delivered to Gazoo
Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response . In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation.
from Jordan earlier this week, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said Thursday, after the supplies were the first to be shipped to the enclave through a newly reopened Israeli border crossing.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken
 ...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...
viewed the aid on Tuesday just before it departed from the headquarters of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization in Amman bound for the renovated crossing into the Gaza Strip at Erez, which was largely destroyed by Hamas during its October 7 terror onslaught that sparked the ongoing war.
The reopening of Erez, Israel’s sole crossing on the northern edge of Gaza, had been a main pleas of international aid agencies for months, to alleviate the humanitarian situation which is believed to be most severe among the hundreds of thousands of Paleostinians in the north of the enclave.
According to Miller, the aid shipment was unloaded by the Jordanian military inside the Strip before being "picked up by a humanitarian implementer for distribution inside Gaza, and that aid was intercepted and diverted by Hamas on the ground in Gaza."
And everyone was so surprised. "The UN is either in the process or has by now recovered that aid, but it was an unacceptable act by Hamas to divert this aid to begin with," he said during a press briefing.
How much did they pay to the Hamas recovery agents? Miller added that UNRWA, the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
agency for Paleostinian refugees, would likely issue a statement soon condemning the incident, indicating it was the organization from which Hamas stole the aid.
"If there’s one thing that Hamas could do to jeopardize the shipment of aid, it would be diverting it for their own use, rather than allowing it to go to the innocent civilians that need it," he said, claiming this was the "first widespread case of diversion that we have seen" in Gaza.
Hamas held the aid trucks for "some time" before releasing them, according to Miller.
His comments follow Israel’s long-standing contention that Hamas stockpiled supplies and kept them from increasingly desperate civilians. Footage from Gaza has shown button men, who were reportedly linked to the terror group, stealing trucks delivering humanitarian aid from Egypt.
In February, the US diplomat who was then involved in humanitarian assistance for Gaza denied allegations that Hamas stole aid and commercial shipments into the enclave, saying that no Israeli official had presented him or the Biden administration with "specific evidence of diversion or theft of assistance."
At the same time, he acknowledged that Hamas had used other aid delivery channels to "shape where and to whom assistance goes."
Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch clutched at his leg. Son of a Breech! he exclaimed with feeling......
Blinken condemned the "unacceptable" targeting of the Jordanian aid convoy by Israeli protesters trying to prevent its transfer to Gaza.
Tzav 9, a right-wing organization that opposes aid being sent to Gaza while hostages are still held there, organized a demonstration at the Allenby Crossing between Israel and Jordan overnight Tuesday to block the convoy. Images on social media showed young women sitting on the road in front of a truck, while other demonstrators held Israeli flags and pictures of the hostages.
Videos showed the activists dumping bags of flour onto the road.
"My understanding is that the people who attacked this convoy were arrested today by the Israeli authorities. That sends a very strong message," he noted during an NBC Nightly News interview.
The Israeli government must "continue to send a strong message that this aid cannot be, must not be interfered with as it goes through Israel... Israel is better than this," he added while noting that the atrocities committed against Israel on October 7 and Hamas’s continued holding of hostages since.
"The people who so desperately need this aid and who are now getting more of it because of the important steps that [Israel has] taken in recent weeks — including right here at Ashdod port — have nothing to do with October 7, nothing to do with the hostages," Blinken said.
"They’ve been caught in this crossfire of Hamas’s making, and it’s imperative that they get the food that they need, the water they need, the medical supplies they need, access to the hospitals, to health care — all of that," he added.
Israel’s military offensive against Hamas, in response to the Paleostinian terror group’s egregious assault on Israel on October 7, has devastated the Gaza Strip and plunged its 2.3 million people into a humanitarian crisis.
Israel recently stepped up efforts to deliver aid by land and opened up new ground routes, including opening Erez to aid trucks on Wednesday. Washington has said aid delivery has increased significantly in recent weeks, but that more is needed.
A temporary pier is also being constructed by the US military to increase humanitarian aid deliveries, and is more than halfway complete, the Pentagon said Wednesday.
