Mercenary firm which ran deadly armed GHF ‘aid’ points in Gaza is recruiting again

The same lethal private military firm which brought armed ‘aid’ points into Gaza is recruiting ex-soldiers. According to Drop Site News, UG Solutions is finding new personnel to implement Trump’s colonialist Gaza ‘peace’ plan. Violence from personnel at the heavily-armed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) ‘aid’ sites killed or wounded over 20,000 Palestinians:

For the four and half months that GHF operated in Gaza, more than 2,600 Palestinians seeking food were killed and over 19,000 wounded by Israeli forces or security contractors at or near aid distribution sites.

The sites were dismantled after a U.S.-brokered “ceasefire” agreement went into effect in Gaza on October 10.

Days after the UN voted, an former army officer said he had interviewed for a UG job in Gaza. The individual told Drop Site that a company official told him in a job interview in late October:

that 12 to 15 sites were being planned to open in Gaza and that the company was ‘going to need a lot more guys’.

Gaza: aid delivery or kill zone?

GHF sites were also used to collect data for the IDF as part of its occupation program. Ex-army whistleblower Anthony Aguilar explained in some detail how biometric data was collected at the locations:

And the new project is offering big money. A UG official told the interviewee:

the salary would be $800 per day for a “static guard” and $1,000 per day for “mobile guard” duty, plus a $180 per diem.

The role would involve “pulling security”.

UG Solutions senior vice president of government affairs Jennifer Counter told Drop Site:

UG Solutions is preparing for a wide range of potential scenarios in Gaza, ranging from an advisory role based on our experience from January 2025 to the present day, to a robust security presence in support of humanitarian aid delivery and possible technical assistance to the International Security Force.

In July 2025, footage of GHF contractors using live rounds against Gazans queueing for aid went viral.  In September, it emerged some American GHF contractors were members of a fascist ex-military biker gang. As well as being lawless and unaccountable, the global mercenary racket is immensely profitable. Some estimates suggest the industry is worth USD 241.31 billion in 2025 and expect it to rise to USD 251.93 billion in 2026. 

The precise aims of UG’s next mission in Gaza are unclear. But their track record says it won’t be good for the besieged locals. The fact it is a private, for-profit affair means it will be difficult to hold accountable. And the potential involvement of ex-military figures with a track record of open fascism should be of concern to us all.
