An analysis compiled by USAID officials examining more than 150 reported incidents involving the theft or loss of U.S.-funded humanitarian aid in the war-torn Gaza Strip says it failed to find any evidence that Hamas -- the militant rulers of the Palestinian enclave -- engaged in widespread diversion of assistance,

An internal US government review found no evidence of widespread theft by Hamas of US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza, contradicting the State Department’s claims that were used to justify backing a controversial private organization that took over aid distribution in the enclave.

Yechiel Leiter, Israel's ambassador to the United States, joins "Elizabeth Vargas Reports" to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and suggests the United Nations is responsible for aid not being distributed due to the NGO's desire to collaborate with Hamas,

Rev. Johnnie Moore, who leads the beleaguered U.S. and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, said Gaza Palestinians are starving, but the blame lies with Hamas, the United Nations and other aid organizations.

Only a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump seemed confident a deal was days away that would end the fighting in Gaza, secure the release of hostages and allow aid to flow into an enclave where people are starving to death.

It marks the latest setback in efforts to secure a deal that would bring a ceasefire to Gaza and secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump appeared on Friday to abandon Gaza ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, both claiming it had become clear that the Palestinian militants did not want a deal.

Hamas has welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement that France will recognize Palestine as a state, calling it a positive step toward achieving justice and self-determination for the Palestinian people.
