The U.S. government has been sending "humanitarian aid" to Gaza, and to make that task more efficient President Biden recently announced that $320 million would be spent (and you know that price will go up fast) to help facilitate the delivery of the aid:
The U.S. and allies are scrambling to pull together a complex system that will move tons of humanitarian aid into Gaza by sea. Nearly two months after President Joe Biden gave the order, U.S. Army and Navy troops are assembling a large floating platform several miles off the Gaza coast that will be the launching pad for deliveries.
But any eventual aid distribution — which could start as soon as early May — will rely on a complicated logistical and security plan with many moving parts and details that are not yet finalized.
On the subject of "humanitarian aid" (I put that in quotes because who knows what's in these boxes) to Gaza, the following story will only come as a surprise to the Biden White House and State Department:
US says Hamas seized first aid shipment that entered Gaza via reopened Erez crossing | The Times of Israel https://t.co/ZOMqCDJk1x

Color me shocked!
Hamas managed to seize a major shipment of humanitarian aid that was delivered to Gaza 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.
[...]
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.”
“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.
Ah yes, the "top men" at the U.N. are saving the day so I'm sure it'll all work out just fine.
Who could've possibly anticipated this other than myself and absolutely everyone but Joe Biden?

The question I have is now much of the aid has NOT ended up in the hands of Hamas? That list is certain to be a short one.
We just sent $9.5 Billion to Gaza. We were told they had “rules”against Hamas getting any money. I guess we shouldn’t trust terrorists? https://t.co/JJ3dx4evvh

The Biden White House and United Nations are the same people who will take Iran's word when it comes to what billions of dollars in released funds will (and won't) be used for and they also trust Hamas. America's enemies must be laughing their asses off at this administration.
