Israeli documents reveal further US interests in firm guarding Gaza aid hubs

Business registration documents filed in Israel last month by a private US contractor operating in Gaza reveal a wider network of Americans linked to a controversial aid plan whose funding has remained opaque as more than 400 Palestinians have been killed seeking food from its sites.

Safe Reach Solutions (SRS) is providing security and logistics for the sites recently set up as part of the plan, which has seen the UN-led aid distribution system in Gaza sidelined and replaced by the Israeli- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Questions about the foundation’s funding have plagued it for weeks, leading reporters to look for answers in the wilds of Delaware, a state known for its culture of corporate secrecy where GHF was registered earlier this year.

While the organisation’s backers remain a mystery, a Middle East Eye investigation based on registration documents filed by SRS in Israel last month show a confluence of former US government contractors, investors, and firms representing ultra-rich individuals involved in the for-profit company.

The revelations come as the US State Department is reportedly considering providing $500m to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
