The Spin

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was a dangerous, militarized aid scheme that got hundreds of Palestinians killed while they desperately sought food. This controversial operation used armed contractors and created chaotic, humiliating conditions that forced starving civilians to risk their lives just to get basic supplies. GHF was nothing more than a tool to weaponize humanitarian aid and enable Israeli displacement policies, while legitimate aid organizations refused to participate in this deadly farce.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation completed its mission by distributing 187 million meals to desperate Palestinians, even as other aid groups failed to operate effectively. GHF proved a new model could work by delivering aid directly to civilians without Hamas diversion, maintaining secure distribution sites free from violence. The organization is now handing off its proven approach to international forces, demonstrating that private humanitarian efforts can succeed where traditional U.N. operations struggled.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 1% chance that at least 500,000 Palestinians will be displaced from Gaza before Dec. 31, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
