U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Sunday blamed the United Nations, The New York Times and Hamas for what he described as the “complete balagan” (Hebrew for chaos) surrounding the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
“Are the UN, NY Times, and Hamas all happy now? I’m sure Hamas is,” Huckabee wrote on X. “Their lies and propaganda destroyed the cease-fire deal, tried to discredit the safe and functioning GHF effort, emboldened Hamas, and resulted in this complete balagan! Saddest of all, hostage families are left with prolonged grief.”
Huckabee’s comments tap into growing frustration among Israeli officials, who claim that accusations targeting Israel and the American Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) endanger ongoing aid efforts and exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
