Summary

The Global Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) proposes a biometric aid distribution system in Gaza to ensure fair delivery without infringing on Palestinian privacy. However, this plan faces legal, political, logistical, and funding challenges that could complicate international law, strengthen Hamas's position, strain Israel-Hamas relations, and hinder local governance. Critics also question its humanitarian effectiveness and potential to disrupt existing aid mechanisms. Balancing these constraints is crucial for the plan's success.
