The United States has raised concerns with United Nations Security Council members regarding the monitoring of aid to Gaza as outlined in a draft text, citing both the UN's own issues with the mechanism and Israel's distrust of the UN's oversight. Israeli President Isaac Herzog criticized the UN for what he described as an 'utter failure' to manage the flow of humanitarian assistance into Gaza. Herzog claimed that if the UN were more effective, three times the current amount of aid, which is currently limited to 125 trucks per day, could be entering Gaza.
President @Isaac_Herzog: Three times more aid could be entering #Gaza if not for #UN’s ‘utter failure’. https://t.co/4QpHD4p7zo
#Israel accused the @UN of not being able to handle the flow of humanitarian assistance into #Gaza – despite demanding it. https://t.co/LHeFY8rBxk
“Due to the utter failure of the @UN...they have been unable to bring in more than 125 trucks [of aid] a day. Today it is possible to provide three times the amount of humanitarian aid to Gaza if the UN — instead of complaining all day — would do its job.” -@Isaac_Herzog https://t.co/QRz3SJxCtK

The #US has been making the argument to #UNSC members that even the United Nations itself has a problem with the kind of monitoring responsibility specified in the draft text on #Gaza aid and that #Israel doesn't like the idea of the mechanism because they don't trust the #UN.… https://t.co/l6EjKN6Nyf
