Proposed Investigation Into COGAT and Israel Corporate Sector Complicit Operations in the PA, especially in Gaza.
Peloni: The relevance of this 2023 proposed study stands today as being arguably more relevant than ever. Note that UNRWA now operates on a $1.6 billion budget and not as stated in this proposal which was written two years ago.

Israeli corporations have a de facto monopoly on the provision of supplies to Gaza and other PA areas. The ability of these corporations to sustain their exclusive control of this multi-billion dollar market is wholly dependent on COGAT (Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories) decision making. Over the past several weeks, COGAT has raised an alarm that humanitarian aid from UNRWA is not reaching the Palestinian population. Noting that this alarm is inconsistent with 1000 trucks a day carrying Israeli products into Gaza, the Center for Near East Policy Research (CFNEPR) contacted 44 donor nations. With the exception of a nominal reduction in U.S. aid, every donor nation responded emphatically that UNRWA and hence Gaza, is receiving 100% of its customary donations, an amount that CFNEPR calculates to be $1.2 billion dollars per year.
