I have an issue with Lapid's views on why Israel should announce if Israel is funding GHF. He seems to be saying that, if Israel is doing it, it should "profit" from the good publicity as an apparent benefactor of Gaza's children. I'm sorry but what the hell?

The principle of humanitarianism refers to the exclusion of a warring party to humanitarian aid efforts. Does Lapid not recognize the violation of this principle if what he accuses the Israeli government of is true?

To be frank, I also find it odd that Lapid seems not to understand the severity of international revulsion at what Israel under Netanyahu has done to Gaza. The announcement of such a scheme would be seen not just as unseemly and self-promoting, but hypocritical and bizarre. Orwellian even.
