What food is being distributed in Gaza? GHF releases full list
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has provided details about the type of food it is distributing in Gaza, following questions from The Jerusalem Post regarding its ongoing operations and its application for US government funding.
According to the organization, each aid box distributed is designed to sustain a family of 5.5 individuals for approximately 3.5 days.
The contents of the boxes vary slightly depending on availability and cost, but typically include flour, sugar, rice, cooking oil, pasta, a protein such as canned tuna, and dried beans. Additional items such as tea, coffee, cookies, and chocolates are available. GHF has also begun distributing potatoes, which the organization said have been well received by recipients.
The group stated that the food packages exceed the caloric minimums set by the international humanitarian community and are consistent with aid typically provided by other organizations. GHF said it has also distributed aid on behalf of other humanitarian groups.
In a statement released on Tuesday, GHF spokesperson Chapin Fay said the organization has delivered more than 66 million meals over a month and highlighted what he described as the group's success in distributing food without interference from Hamas.
"GHF has done what others could not: deliver free, nutritious, and secure emergency food aid directly to the people of Gaza without interference from Hamas," the statement read. "In just over a month, we've delivered more than 66 million meals. We're grateful to the Trump Administration for recognizing the impact of our work with a $30 million commitment to help expand our operations."
The group also addressed questions surrounding a review by USAID of GHF's application for grant funding, stating that the process is routine and that the organization is cooperating fully. Fay noted that the organization's operational model is designed to prevent diversion, fraud, or misuse of aid.
"Every dollar we receive is safeguarded to ensure all resources—which will eventually include American taxpayer funds—reach the people of Gaza, not Hamas," he said.
GHF also alleged that some long-standing international aid groups have failed to prevent diversion of aid in Gaza, and claimed that such organizations view GHF as a threat. Fay said that such criticism only harms the civilian population.
"The bottom line is GHF is delivering where others have not," the statement concluded.

New suspect in Qatargate case, Maj.-Gen. (res.) Poli Mordechai, brought in for questioning
Mordechai is suspected of transferring hundreds of thousands of shekels from his business to Yonatan Urich, the main suspect in the Qatargate case. IDF Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yoav "Poli" Mordechai was questioned in connection with the "Qatargate" case, Channel 13 News reported on Wednesday. Mordechai was questioned on suspicion of contact with a foreign agent and accepting bribes. He is also suspected of transferring hundreds of thousands of shekels from his business to Yonatan Urich, the main suspect in the case, throughout 2024 for a campaign in support of Qatar. Maj.-Gen. (res.) Mordechai retired from the IDF in 2018 after serving as the coordinator of government activities in the territories and the IDF spokesperson. He has also played a key role in hostage affairs during the Israel-Hamas War. He was first summoned to provide open testimony about two months ago, Channel 13 reported. Mordechai's Company, NOVARD, stated that he had not had any activity with the business since October 7. 'Novard has been working for years with various countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East in an official, public, and entirely legal manner. Since October 7, Poli Mordechai has been enlisted for reserve duty to promote the return of hostages. He is not involved in any business activity, and there is a complete separation between Novard's operations in the Middle East and him.' His business partner in NOVARD was also questioned at Lahav 433 out of caution. Jay Footlik, a US-based Qatari lobbyist, will be openly questioned on Saturday. The "Qatargate" investigation began in February 2025, when Attorney-General Gali Baharav Miara ordered the Israel Police and the Shin Bet to launch a formal investigation into individuals in the Prime Minister's Office for their ties to Doha. Footlik notably requested that Israeli businessman Gil Birger assist him in transferring funds to Eli Feldstein, a member of Netanyahu's media team. Feldstein has been accused of accepting bribes from Qatar, leaking classified documents that harmed the war effort, and reducing the chances of a successful hostage deal. He has also been indicted for endangering national security. Urich has been accused of feeding Israeli journalists information, through Feldstein, cited as being from intelligence sources, when it really originated in Qatar. Supposedly, the goal was to boost Qatar's image in the Gaza hostage and ceasefire negotiations, while belittling that of Egypt's as the other mediator. Qatar has denied any such initiative.

Qatargate investigation: Urich will appear for pre indictment hearing
The Prime Minister's Office responded to Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara's intention to indict Urich on Monday, calling it a "disgraceful announcement." After the announcement Sunday that the prosecution is considering criminal charges against lead 'Qatargate' suspect and aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yonatan Urich, his lawyers said on Monday that he will appear before a pre-indictment hearing. Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara announced on Sunday night that the prosecution is considering criminal charges against him – pending a hearing, during which the prosecution will present a tentative version of an indictment to Urich and his lawyers, and they will have the opportunity to respond. If, after that, the prosecution is not satisfied with what it has received, it will proceed with an indictment. Urich's lawyers demanded on Monday to receive all the investigation materials. The charges include offenses such as the unlawful disclosure of classified information with intent to harm national security, possession of classified information, and destruction of evidence. This is concerning what is known as the 'Leaked Documents Affair,' in which former PMO military spokesman Eli Feldstein allegedly leaked classified military documents to the German daily Bild, after permission for their publication was denied by the Israeli military censor. The documents were eventually published, allegedly to sway public opinion on the hostage negotiations. This was around August 2024, when six hostages were killed by their Hamas captors in a tunnel: Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Almog Sarusi, Eden Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Carmel Gat, and Alex Lobanov. Urich allegedly operated with Feldstein to bring this to fruition. Per the allegations, he sought to extract classified information from the IDF, including through secret intelligence, which, once publicized, endangered national security and human lives. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the authorities' announcement 'disgraceful,' and 'an unfortunate decision that raises serious questions.' 'I am familiar with the details, and I state clearly and unequivocally: There was no harm to the security of the state. Yonatan did not harm the state's security. This is an unfounded, baseless move, intended to serve another agenda, not the public's interest,' Netanyahu wrote. PMO deputy security director Alon Haliva is expected to provide open testimony in the leaked documents case. Feldstein is under house arrest. The State Attorney's Office opposed easing the conditions of Feldstein's arrest on Monday. In contrast, Urich is being held in significantly more lenient conditions. The incoming Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief will be barred from involvement in the 'Qatargate' investigations until they are cleared up in about two months, resolving the issue of the prime minister's conflict of interest in the matter. Per reports, IDF Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yoav 'Poli' Mordechai was questioned in connection with the case, on suspicion of contact with a foreign agent and accepting bribery. He is also suspected of transferring hundreds of thousands of shekels from his business to Urich throughout 2024 for a Qatari campaign. Bini Aschkenasy and Sarah Ben-Nun contributed to this report.

High Court approves compromise between gov't, A-G on new Shin Bet head
Under the decision, the incoming Shin Bet director will be barred from involvement in the 'Qatargate' investigation until the matter is resolved by Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara. The High Court of Justice on Sunday approved a compromise between the government and the Attorney-General's Office on the fiery issue of the next appointment to lead the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now has 60 days to propose a new appointment. Within 60 days, the conflict of interest issue plaguing Netanyahu will be resolved, and he will be free to recommend his appointment to the Advisory Committee on Senior Civil Service Appointments. The incoming chief will be barred from involvement in the 'Qatargate' investigations until the matter is resolved by Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara, as part of a conflict-of-interest arrangement. Supreme Court Chief Justice Yitzhak Amit clarified last month in a court hearing that there is no dispute over the prime minister's authority to appoint the Shin Bet chief. Rather, the legal disagreement centers on whether Netanyahu is barred from making the appointment while a sensitive Shin Bet probe is underway involving members of his staff, this being the basis for Baharav-Miara's harsh objection regarding the legitimacy of the appointment of IDF Maj.-Gen. David Zini. She wrote that the appointment wasn't legitimate because it was made while Netanyahu was shrouded in a conflict of interest on the issue due to two pending matters: the 'leaked documents' case and the 'Qatargate' investigation. Both involve former Prime Minister's Office military spokesman Eli Feldstein and adviser Yonatan Urich. Since the Shin Bet is assisting in both investigations, the attorney-general has maintained that Netanyahu must recuse himself from the appointment process. Baharav-Miara has proposed that the government delegate the appointment authority to another minister, a move she says would eliminate the conflict. Netanyahu has rejected her position, saying that national security considerations override what he called an alleged conflict of interest. He argued that the relationship between the prime minister and the Shin Bet chief is unique and vital to state security, and therefore, the decision must remain in his hands. He also contended that the issue is political in nature and should not be decided by the court. Former Shin Bet head Ronen Bar resigned on June 15, after the push to fire him gained momentum in November 2024, when the Qatargate investigations began. Sarah Ben-Nun contributed to this report.
