Discussing the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the recent partial reopening of borders for aid delivery after a two-month closure, Fletcher remarked on X that Israel’s temporary allowance for limited aid is merely “a drop in the ocean.”

Danon stressed that the aid was only granted to NGOs that ensure Hamas does not infiltrate their ranks or loot aid intended for civilians.

“Let’s focus on the facts,” Danon responded. “We are still waiting for you to withdraw the false claims you made at the Security Council last week.”

During a briefing today, Stéphane Dujarric, the spokesperson for the secretary-general, also mentioned Fletcher’s comments, highlighting that the current level of aid remains inadequate to address the immense needs of the people. He urged for the opening of more crossings and the streamlining of procedures to ensure a consistent flow of aid, warning that without these actions, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza would keep deteriorating.

Danon also addressed the future of humanitarian aid in Gaza, specifically in response to proposals for replacing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) with a new U.S.-backed aid mechanism. 

“We decided that UNRWA will not have anything connected to Israel. They know it, the U.N. knows it,” he said, criticizing the U.N.’s role in the region. He voiced support for the U.S. initiative, calling it a welcome step toward addressing Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. “I cannot understand how anyone can boycott a humanitarian effort,” he added. “If those people in the U.N. care so much about the humanitarian crisis, they should take part in these efforts, not boycott them.”
