I recently debated Israeli ex-historian Benny Morris on Piers Morgan Uncensored. I noted that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation [GHF] was setting up distribution centers in southern Israel. The objective is obvious: forcing Gazans to relocate in the South in order to obtain food, water, and medicine. Once crammed in that tiny space, it would be the prelude to their mass expulsion into Egypt. I cited in particular an article in the British Financial Times. (It has been reported elsewhere that one distribution center would be located in central Gaza.) Taking strong exception, the ex-historian purported that Israel’s benign goal was to “supply the Palestinian population in three centers, not just in the south but also in the north with humanitarian aid.”

Here’s what the Financial Times wrote:
“The UN and other agencies have refused to participate [in the GHF], arguing that by setting up just a handful of mass distribution centers—mostly clustered in southern Gaza—GHF will force hungry Palestinians to the region bordering Egypt. Bezalel Smotrich, the far-right Israeli finance minister, has described the recent IDF operation as a means to ultimately expel Gazans from the territory and ‘change the course of history.’” (“THE LITTLE-KNOWN GROUP POISED TO TAKE OVER GAZA’S AID,” 21 May 2025)
