The United States, Israel, and representatives of a new international organization are close to reaching an agreement on how to resume the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza without Hamas controlling it, Axios reported, citing Israeli officials and a US source.

Israel suspended all humanitarian aid, including food, water, and medicine, to the Gaza Strip after the collapse of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza two months ago, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

UN relief agencies say food supplies in Gaza will run out within days, while Israeli officials claim the stock will be completely depleted within three to four weeks.

Axios reported that an internationally managed foundation supported by countries and charitable organizations will deliver aid to Gaza. It will be led by humanitarian figures and an advisory board of prominent international figures.

Israeli officials said that according to the plan, "several compounds will be established in part of Gaza, and Palestinian civilians will be allowed to go to them once a week to receive one aid package per family, sufficient for seven days."

A source familiar with the plan stated that "Israel has committed to funding and implementing the engineering work necessary to build the infrastructure for safe aid distribution sites," adding that the parties to the agreement are in advanced discussions with donor countries that will fund the organization's operations, including the purchase of humanitarian aid.

He continued, "A private American company will be responsible for delivering aid logistically and providing security inside and around the complexes."

Israeli officials stated that Israeli military forces will not participate in the distribution of aid and will not be present inside the compounds, but will provide security in the surrounding areas, according to Axios.

The website added that American and Israeli officials want the new mechanism up and running when US President Donald Trump visits the region in two weeks.

Trump is expected to visit Saudi Arabia on May 13, then travel from there to Qatar and the UAE.

Israeli officials said they want the mechanism up and running before Israel also expands its ground operation in Gaza, expected later this month if the stalemate in prisoner swap and ceasefire negotiations continues, according to Axios.

An informed source told the US website that the new mechanism will meet Trump's goal of allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza, while adhering to Israeli government directives that no aid reach Hamas.

A US State Department official added, "We understand that the mechanism will deliver aid to those in need, with guarantees that it will not be misused or abused by groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad."

"President Trump and Secretary Rubio expect all UN agencies and international aid to work within the framework of the mechanism to ensure that these vital resources do not reach Hamas," the official continued, according to Axios.

Israeli officials say the new aid distribution system will weaken Hamas "because it will deprive it of revenue and reduce the population's dependence on it," Axios reported.
