Hamas is rewarding people who kill humanitarian aid workers with bounties, US outlet Fox News reported on Saturday.
The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Aid Foundation (GHF) told Fox News Digital, “We are aware of credible reports that Hamas is openly targeting the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and those who work with us.”
GHF continued, “According to these reports, Hamas has placed bounties on both our American security personnel and Palestinian aid workers — offering cash rewards to anyone who injures or kills them.”
“The targets of Hamas’s brutality are heroes who are simply trying to feed the people of Gaza in the middle of a war.”
The news of the bounties follows reports earlier in June that Hamas murdered 12 members of GHF and tortured many others.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee commented on the issue in an X post, criticizing the United Nations for ignoring the problem.
“Last month [President Trump] told us to get food to civilians in Gaza, but DON’T let Hamas steal it,” Huckabee wrote on X. “NOT always pretty, but 800k+ unique recipients of food & 1ST TIME they [have] received food FREE since the start of the war. Hamas has stolen or taxed it & now, w/GHF, they CAN’T! Hamas’ main tool to control Gaza is GONE. Hamas has put a bounty on the heads of everyone at GHF — Gazans [and] Americans. The UN remains SILENT.”
GHF Executive Chairman Rev. Johnnie Moore wrote on X, “Hamas would be very unwise to test the resolve of [President Donald Trump]. ”
He continued, “Hamas, through these violent and escalating threats, is showing the world it prefers chaos and starvation to peace and aid. We call on international leaders and aid groups to stand with us and with the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza, who show up at our sites every day in defiance of Hamas’s threats and brutality, deserve it.”
