Of course it's about eliminating aid itself, but it's also about eliminating witnesses.

Israel banned 37 aid groups from Gaza for the same reason it continues to ban journalists. Of course it's about eliminating aid itself, but it's also about eliminating witnesses. Doctors and aid workers largely became the de facto journalists on the ground in Gaza when Israel banned international news media and began systematically assassinating Gaza-based Palestinian journalists, so Israel wants to get rid of those de facto reporters to hide its crimes. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) was one of the top humanitarian groups publicly accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza in 2025. A lot of what we learned about the Israeli massacres of starving civilians at "Gaza Humanitarian Fund" sites came from MSF doctors describing the gunshot wounds they'd been seeing at medical facilities. MSF were the first to report the horrifying trend of IDF soldiers entering hospitals they'd attacked in Gaza and destroying individual pieces of medical equipment to make them unusable, providing unassailable proof that Israel was actually targeting Gaza's healthcare system itself rather than "Hamas bases in hospitals" as Israel falsely claimed. Doctors Without Borders were constantly putting out reports condemning Israel's attacks on medical facilities where it had staff conducting operations, and its doctors often spoke to the western press about the horrors they'd seen in Gaza. And now they've been taken out, one of dozens of aid groups who Israel will no longer allow to operate in the occupied Palestinian territory. They took them out for the same reason they took out the journalists, and for the same reason Israel and its supporters try to stomp out speech that is critical of the Gaza holocaust throughout the western world, and for the same reason witnesses who try to tell law enforcement about the crimes of the Mafia tend to go missing. They want to keep their crimes in the dark.
