The U.S. State Department responded to UN criticism of American humanitarian aid fund operations in Gaza, calling it "the height of hypocrisy." Even before its operations began, the UN criticized the aid fund, claiming it "helps Israel achieve its military objectives in Gaza while violating international humanitarian principles." The department spokesperson responded to these statements, saying "It's regrettable, the concern here is to deliver aid to Gaza and suddenly there are complaints about how it's being done."
