Boston Consulting Group's Involvement in Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
Christoph Schweizer, CEO of Boston Consulting Group (BCG), apologized for BCG's past role in a U.S.-backed alternative to Hamas and the United Nations in Gaza. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is a successful Trump administration-supported initiative providing aid directly to Palestinians, protected by the IDF. BCG faced pressure from anti-Israel activists, fired two executives, and launched a formal investigation. GHF faced criticism from Hamas and the UN, and temporarily shut down aid sites due to threats from Hamas. BCG's involvement led to backlash and accusations of Trump derangement syndrome.
