The Facts

• The Associated Press and the Israeli investigative site Shomrim found that three groups that have blocked aid from entering Gaza have raised more than $200K in tax-deductible donations from individuals in the US and Israel. Both countries have said they are committed to getting food, water, and medicine into Gaza.

• Last month, the US placed sanctions on Tzav 9, which it accused of being an "extremist" group that had blocked aid convoys destined for Gaza — citing an incident in May when members of the group looted and then set fire to two trucks in the West Bank loaded with aid.

• These organizations have not been the primary obstacle to aid delivery in Gaza — which has been severely hampered by distribution issues inside the strip — but they have received support from Israeli politicians such as National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
