Hamas has backed down from its demand for a NIS 10,000 per truck tax on private merchants, allowing Gaza aid shipments to resume. The extortion attempt had prompted merchants to suspend coordination, creating a bottleneck that threatened to worsen the humanitarian situation. This episode reveals Hamas's ongoing effort to control aid distribution and extract revenue from the flow of goods into Gaza. The question now is whether the group will attempt similar tactics again once the immediate pressure subsides.
