According to reports, Israel plans to hire a private, U.S.-based logistics and security suite to develop a "gated community" in Gaza where all Palestinians would be subject to biometric screenings in order to qualify to receive aid.
Israel's war cabinet discussed the proposal over the weekend with plans to approve a "pilot" program within the next two months. Global Delivery Company (GDC), a company run by Israeli-American businessman Mordechai Kahana, is currently in talks with Israel to run the biometrics screening program.
For a while now, Israel has been contemplating the creation of so-called "humanitarian bubbles" in northern Gaza, including in and around the Jabalia refugee camp which, for the past three weeks, has been under total siege. Israel is not allowing any food, clean water or medical supplies to enter Jabalia, which is creating a humanitarian crisis.
Back in January, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an interim ruling that Israel must take immediate measures to ensure that the Palestinians living in Gaza receive basic services and humanitarian assistance. In response, Israel has come up with this biometrics screening scheme as a prerequisite for receiving aid.

GDC has been profiting from war for 14 years
It was Kahana himself who came up with the phrase "Uber for war zones" to describe his for-profit business. GDC has been operating this business for the past 14 years during which it operated in and profited from five wars, including in Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza, Syria and Ukraine.
"Personnel working for our security sub-contractor are trained and equipped for non-lethal and lethal methods of crowd control," reads a GDC press release from this week. "They are trained to use deadly force only as a last resort if their lives are in danger."
One of GDC's former top officials, Stuart Seldowitz, is also a former U.S. government official who was charged with a hate crime after he abused a street food vendor. While Seldowitz no longer works for GDC, Kahana says he is still open to working with the guy.
Kahana himself has said some not-so-savory things about the Palestinians as well. Last November, he referred to Palestinian-American lawmaker Rashida Tlaib as Hamas's "ambassador to the U.S." Kahana has also joked about ethnically cleansing all Palestinians from Gaza and relocating them to Jordan.
Other high-level employees at GDC include former high-ranking Israeli military officers and former American military and intelligence operatives, meaning the operation is a military-industrial complex scheme that will surely not be nice to the Palestinians in Gaza.
Back in May, the media was reporting that Israel was in talks with U.S. security firms about managing the Rafah crossing at Gaza's southern border with Egypt. A few days after these reports were published, Kahana took to X / Twitter to state that he will be "assisting with humanitarian supplies" in Gaza, the suggestion being that GDC is one of the security firms involved.
"We came here with one clear purpose: the purpose is to settle the entire Gaza Strip, not just part of it, not just a few settlements, the entire Gaza Strip from north to south," said Daniella Weiss, the leader of Nachala, an orthodox Jewish settler movement that says it has more than 700 Jewish families that are looking to settle in Gaza.
Weiss organized a conference recently at which she promised attendees that the Palestinians will "disappear" from the Gaza Strip in due time, allowing Israel to annex the land as its own.
