(TJV NEWS) Channel 14 in Israel reports a striking change: Gaza residents are increasingly defying Hamas’s control. They are openly accepting humanitarian aid linked to President Trump and bypassing Hamas’s traditional power structures. This shift shows deep frustration with Hamas’s hold on resources and the success of new aid centers. These centers deliver critical supplies and weaken Hamas’s control.

Videos on social media, shared by Channel 14, show Gazans storming aid distribution centers while chanting “Trump, Trump.” This shows gratitude for the aid and a rejection of Hamas’s rule. The scenes follow the launch of four distribution hubs under the Humanitarian Aid Fund, with two centers fully operational.

The biggest incident happened in the Al-Maraji refugee camp in central Gaza. A crowd overran Hamas-controlled flour warehouses and emptied them, according to Channel 14. This bold act shows growing anger at Hamas’s hoarding and selective aid distribution. Hamas has long used aid to keep political power and force loyalty.

A similar event occurred the day before at the Tel al-Sultan center in Rafah. Large crowds overwhelmed fences and looted food and supplies. Hamas called this a “failure,” showing concern about independent aid centers weakening its control.

Hamas has used international aid to manipulate people. The new centers, approved by Israel’s political-security cabinet, aim to break Hamas’s monopoly on humanitarian resources. Channel 14 says these centers connect donors directly with civilians, bypassing Hamas.

The goal of these centers is twofold: provide immediate relief to Gaza’s struggling people and reduce Hamas’s control over essentials like food and medicine. This takes away Hamas’s ability to use shortages to enforce loyalty. It is a major setback for the group.

Channel 14 notes Hamas is under intense pressure. Locals openly defy Hamas, raid its warehouses, and turn to outside aid. Analysts see this as a sign that Hamas’s grip is weakening.

Security experts told Channel 14 that the independent aid centers mark a new Israeli policy toward Gaza. By delivering aid without helping Hamas, Israel hopes to build grassroots pressure on Hamas. This could force the group to give concessions or speed up its decline in popularity.

One surprising aspect is the public thanks given to President Trump. Despite criticism of his pro-Israel stance, his name is now chanted in Gaza during aid deliveries. This shows how quickly politics shift when survival is at stake.

Observers say this “Trump Effect” comes from aid linked to Trump bypassing Hamas’s corrupt channels. Both Israeli and U.S. officials are watching closely. They see this as proof their policy works to help civilians without empowering Hamas.

The chants also suggest a political awakening. Gazans are realizing how much Hamas has caused their suffering. After years of war and hardship, seeing food and medicine come through new routes offers hope. It also threatens Hamas’s control over the narrative.

Israel’s security cabinet approved the aid centers to weaken Hamas without only using military force. This targeted approach disrupts how Hamas demands loyalty, especially by controlling aid. It replaces Hamas’s system with a more open and fair humanitarian network.

Sources told Channel 14 the centers are more than storage hubs. They symbolize a possible future for Gaza’s civilians — one free from Hamas.

Israeli leaders, with growing international support, see independent humanitarian aid as a strategic weapon. It can weaken Hamas’s military and political power.

Recent events—like the raids on Hamas’s flour warehouses and the public support for outside aid—may be a turning point for Gaza. Hamas is struggling to keep control. The aid centers reveal its weakness not with violence, but by simply feeding people without political strings.

Whether this change lasts is unknown. But for now, Gazans are clearly making a choice. Their chants and actions show they prefer aid over fear. The “Trump, Trump” chants in Gaza may be the most surprising development yet.
