The ICRC is not neutral in any sense. It is pro-Hamas.

Daniel Pomerantz, former CEO of Honest Reporting and now head of RealityCheck, published a report on how the  International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has violated its neutrality mandate multiple times in Gaza.

Here is a photo he found of the head of the ICRC, Peter Maurer, smiling as he shakes hands with the arch-terrorist Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar, in 2017.



Some examples:

The ICRC has met with Islamic Jihad terrorists,  to discuss (according to IJ)  “the role of the International Committee of the Red Cross in pressuring the Israeli occupation” and “efforts to expose the crimes of the Israeli occupation.” This goes way beyond the ICRC position that it only meets with terror groups to visit captives and providing aid to civilians.

Even worse:
ICRC spokesperson Hisham Mhanna states that the ICRC’s “top priority” in Gaza is to secure the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails. Mhanna’s statement indicates that the return of Israeli hostages from captivity is a lower priority (if at all), as is the safety of Israelis from terror attacks.  

More:
Surouq Hijawi, who holds the position of “security official” for the ICRC, praised terrorism against Israelis on Facebook. Specifically, on July 20, 2023 Hiawi posted a photo of several Palestinian terrorists who had died while carrying out attacks against Israelis, along with the caption, “May God have mercy on the martyrs #Congratulations on your martyrdom in heaven.”


In the past, I have detailed how the ICRC has different standards for the definition of "occupation" for Israel and for everyone else. The bias is undeniable. But here, Pomerantz has shown how the rot goes throughout the ICRC from the very top to the Hamas fanboys in the rank and file.
