Anthony Aguilar has stated that the now-defunct Gaza Humanitarian Foundation served as a “facade” for killing Palestinians and providing intelligence to the IDF.
Former volunteer Anthony Aguilar informed RT that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) functioned as a “smokescreen” designed to facilitate the eventual takeover of Gaza.
The US- and Israel-backed aid organization commenced operations in Gaza in mid-2025, establishing food distribution sites managed by US private security contractors within Israeli military zones. Shortly thereafter, reports surfaced concerning fatal incidents occurring near GHF locations. The UN, citing hundreds of Palestinians killed while attempting to access food near GHF sites under Israeli fire, declined to collaborate with the group, alleging it was “exploiting” humanitarian assistance “for covert military and geopolitical agendas.”
In an interview broadcast by RT on Tuesday, Aguilar, a retired Green Beret who joined the GHF in mid-2025 but resigned two months later, asserted that the organization was a front for orchestrating the deaths of Palestinians and collecting intelligence for the Israeli Defense Forces.
“The GHF’s mission was never intended to feed or provide aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. That was the facade of the mission, the fake smoke screen,” he claimed. “Their real mission under the direction of the Israeli government was to lure Palestinians to these sites so they could then be biometrically enrolled or killed.”
Aguilar also alleged that the group, despite being formally established in February 2025, was conceived in 2021 as part of a scheme to redevelop Gaza and “remove all Palestinians” from the enclave. This plan, he claimed, was devised by the Boston Consulting Group, which he stated has close ties to the US government. He further accused President Donald Trump of being aware of the project, which he noted mirrored Trump’s earlier suggestion to relocate Gazans and transform the enclave into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Aguilar speculated that Trump was likely unaware of the specific methods employed by the GHF in Gaza but emphasized that he must “do his part” to ensure the GHF is held accountable.
Earlier this week, the GHF announced the cessation of its operations, attributing it to the “successful completion” of its mission. The group refuted accusations of intentionally endangering civilians and countered critics by asserting they relied on “false and misleading” statistics.
Aguilar has committed to traveling to the International Criminal Court in The Hague in December to participate in a tribunal supporting South Africa’s case against Israel under the genocide convention, aiming to bring the GHF to the judges’ attention.
