Thirteen Gazan brokers and about 10 Israeli companies earn substantial revenue from the system that manages trade with the Gaza Strip. The arrangement has drawn public attention through social media posts alleging improper facilitation of goods.

The images include captions claiming that a villa in the U.S. was provided as a bribe to a person named Avi in exchange for allowing goods to enter the area. The page states that the arrangement enabled Hamas to regain strength and questions whether similar events could recur.

The images have been described as fabricated. Goods trucks have entered Gaza City through the Zikim border crossing in recent weeks. The mechanism controlling trade with the Gaza Strip remains in place under current procedures.
