The scandal-plagued Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's military contractor, UG Solutions, has hired the crisis communications firm Seven Letter, which is run by former communications staffers in the Joe Biden and Barack Obama administrations, independent journalist Jack Poulson revealed on Friday. This comes amid the revelation that nearly 800 Palestinians have been killed at GHF aid points in Gaza since it began operations in May, the United Nations said. Eyewitnesses have said both the Israeli forces and American military contractors manning the sites fired on them, and two resignees from UG Solutions confirmed those accounts to the Associated Press. Haaretz has also published testimony from Israeli soldiers who were ordered to fire on aid seekers.

Palestinian man beaten to death by Israeli settlers was US citizen, Arab-American group confirms
The 23-year-old Palestinian who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Friday has been confirmed to be a US citizen, according to the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). "Under the protection of government officials, Israeli settlers lynched a Palestinian American man from Tampa, Florida," a statement issued by the group said. "Saif al-Din Musalat (also reported as Sayfollah Musallet), born in Port Charlotte, Florida, was visiting family for the summer when he was beaten to death while protesting the construction of a new illegal Israeli outpost on village land in al‑Mazra'a ash‑Sharqiya. An ambulance was blocked from reaching him for nearly two hours," the ADC said. "This horrific murder is yet another example of Israel killing American citizens. As of the issuance of this statement, no one has been arrested, no one has been indicted, and—if the past is any guide—no one will be held accountable for the death of Saif," the statement continued. "This is not an aberration; it is part of a well‑documented pattern of impunity enjoyed by Israeli settlers and security forces who routinely attack Palestinians and Palestinian‑Americans under the protection of occupation authorities and indifference of US officials". The killing of US citizens abroad is more often than not addressed by the highest levels of the US government, including a phone call to the victim's family from the president. But now, the ADC said, when "the perpetrators are Israeli settlers or security forces, many US citizens themselves, Washington's response is silence, delay, or repeating the lies of Israeli authorities". "ADC calls on President Donald J. Trump to direct the State Department to open an immediate, American-led investigation into this heinous murder; demand that Israeli authorities arrest and prosecute the perpetrators without delay; and apply standard diplomatic protocol given to any murdered US citizen, including public condemnation of the crime, and regular briefings to Congress until justice is served," the group urged.
