Gaza is a problem with a humanitarian foundation. As weapon Hungry Continues in Gaza, GHF was established in May As a partnership between Israel and the US, with the mission of providing humanitarian aid through private companies. It differs with un-assured help, which is not controlled by any one political unit, which Israel has blocked By entering the area. But distribution of food and important supply has proved fatal; In recent weeks, reports have been revealed that Israeli soldiers have Order to shoot Ghazan seeking assistance in distribution centers, and United nations according toAt least 400 people have been killed at distribution sites since the GHF started operating in late May. “This system is a slaughter in the form of human aid, and it should be destroyed immediately,” Doctor without limits It is written in a statement.
Meanwhile, Shah Segle, an Israeli businessman and owner of several restaurants, who includes a single Michelin star, is now serving as its spokesperson. NPR reportCiting an anonymous source, “familiar with GHF activities”, that Segal was approached to project that image that the initiative has a nutritional value for ghazan. ”
Segal is a director, entrepreneur and chef is a business partner of Ile Shani, who simultaneously runs an international restaurant group, called “” “.Good people groups“He has opened more than 40 restaurants in New York in Israel, Europe and America, including Las Vegas, Dallas and Miami – Mizonon, HasaloneAnd michelin-starred ShamonaA press release for Hasalone states that Chef Shani “has” established himself as the founding father of Israeli cuisine. “
As a report of NPRSegal now acts as a GHF mouthpiece, speaking on behalf of the organization in Israeli media, and “sending daily updates about Gaza Food Project from its Aadhaar in New York.” He told NPR through text: “I believe this is the only correct and possible way to give food to Ghazan without bankering Hamas’s terror machine. This crystal is clear.” The Eater has reached Segal for further comments.
In Interview with forwardShani, who left a Michelin ceremony Cook for IDF soldiers On the Gaza border, he says he did not know about his business partner’s participation with GHF until the press asked him to comment. “I called Shah, and I told him, ‘What would you like to do with that information?” He told me, ‘Leave it.’ So I left it, “he says. However, he believes that” there is only one thing [Segal] Want to improve the world. ,
It may seem that the owner of a restaurant would be a strange option for a spokesperson for the organization that distributes assistance, but these are both exercises in branding. “In an interview with journalist Arell Segal about one and a half years ago, [Shahar Segal] Claimed that Hamas’ is defeating you from his story, and the way you can actually fight them is to fight their story, “Nissan writes noise OP-Ed for HaretzSegal is in the story of storytelling, invites dinner to the world of Israeli dishes; Often those stories in the culinary scenario Palestinian origin Many Israeli materials. Now, Segal is in the business of telling the story of Israel and America and is coming together to feed Gaza.
Honey almadhunThe brother of Gaza Soup Kitchen founder Mahmud Almadon, who was killed in an Israeli drone attack, is calling for a boycott of Segal’s restaurant. “He is the American face of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a fake support group that exists to block real aid while pretending to care,” Almadhoun Written on FacebookHis brother was killed while trying to feed the same population. “Now Shah Segal and Oil Shani want to claim that they are humanists at all.”
In May, Who gave information All 2.1 million people in Gaza are experiencing lack of food, with about a quarter of people suffering from acute malnutrition, starvation, or other diseases, which due to a deliberate withdrawal of assistance, due to help, other diseases, a deliberate, help, A war crimeGHF is not an NGO, but a private organization run by the company Safe access solutionWhich is very little experience of allegedly conducting sensitive international affairs. “The company’s website, which appears to be registered in 2024 and is created in 2025, has almost no specific information about organization activities, funding or staff members,” report a new York TimesTo date, their “Our Team” website section Still no one provides specific personnel.
The GHF argues that its distribution sites run with Israeli defense to prevent Hamas from getting help, but the result is that ghazans are targeted and killed for attempts to reach food. “If people arrive early and arrive at the outposts, they are shot,” Eater Zabalggezcoa says, an emergency coordinator for doctors without borders. “If they arrive on time, but there is an overflow and they jump on the mounds and wires, they are shot. If they arrive late, they should not be there because it is an ’empty area,’ so they are shot.”
In early July, Haretz Journalist Liza Rosavski has written that the United Nations claims that the Foundation’s aid has not “helped” Hamas (what it means), as GHF said. “GHF [argues] This assistance definitely helps Hamas, as it is the real ruler on the ground. According to the United Nations, Israel has not given evidence of this, ” Rozovsky writes“GHF spokesperson of Israeli media, Shah Segal, has said that he will provide evidence that the United Nations aid has reached Hamas, but has not done so yet.”
