Israeli Airstrike on Gaza City Leaves World in Shock

The **Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)** is a controversial organization established in February 2025, supported by the Israeli and U.S. governments to distribute humanitarian aid in Gaza amid an escalating famine caused by the Israeli blockade[1]. Its creation aimed to bypass traditional international aid agencies, notably the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), responding to Israeli allegations—denied by UN and other aid groups—that Hamas diverted aid for military purposes[1][3]. GHF began operations in May 2025, funded with at least $30 million from the U.S., and is distinctively managed by military contractors rather than humanitarian professionals, operating under Israeli oversight without transparency or independent accountability[4]. Its model contrasts sharply with established humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, and independence, provoking widespread rejection by leading aid organizations such as UN agencies and NGOs, which refuse to participate[3][6]. Critics argue that GHF's approach militarizes aid delivery, politicizes assistance, and exposes civilians and aid workers to greater risks[3][4]. Tragically, GHF distribution sites have become deadly flashpoints. Reports from the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and human rights organizations confirm that hundreds of Palestinians—nearly 1,400 by August 2025—have been killed or injured while seeking food at or near GHF sites, with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and GHF contractors implicated in these lethal incidents[1][7][8]. These attacks have sparked international condemnation, with UN experts calling for the immediate dismantling of the GHF, describing it as an illegitimate, inhumane aid scheme that violates international humanitarian law[6][7]. The foundation’s leadership has faced internal dissent, including resignations in protest against its operations[2]. Despite its stated goal to efficiently deliver aid and prevent Hamas diversion, the GHF has failed to alleviate famine conditions, which continue to worsen, affectin

The **Trump administration** refers to the executive branch of the U.S. federal government during Donald J. Trump’s presidency, initially from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021, and resuming with his second term starting in 2025. It was characterized by a mix of aggressive domestic policies, significant judicial appointments, and a distinct foreign policy approach that emphasized "America First" principles[4][8]. The administration’s key activities included **tax reform**, notably passing the $3.2 trillion Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which represented the largest overhaul of the U.S. tax code in decades[5]. Trump also renegotiated trade agreements with major economies including Mexico, Canada, China, Japan, and South Korea, prioritizing bilateral deals over multilateral ones such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which the administration withdrew from early on[1][2]. The administration sought to protect American jobs by restricting cheap foreign labor and influencing agencies like the Tennessee Valley Authority to retain American workers[5]. On the judicial front, the Trump administration appointed over 200 federal judges, including three Supreme Court justices—Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett—shaping the judiciary for years to come[4]. These appointments were among the most significant achievements, influencing U.S. law on multiple fronts. In foreign policy, the administration pursued a controversial agenda: it imposed travel bans on several predominantly Muslim countries, withdrew U.S. troops from northern Syria, and supported Saudi Arabia militarily despite congressional opposition related to the Yemen conflict[1][3]. It also fostered new international technology alliances, such as securing commitments from allies to exclude Chinese telecom giant Huawei from 5G infrastructure and signing AI cooperation agreements with the UK[5]. The Trump administration faced substantial political turmoil, including two impeachments by the House of Representatives—first in 2019 over Ukraine dealings, and again in 2021 following the January
