Overview

  • At least 10 members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club were hired by UG Solutions to secure GHF aid sites, with seven in senior posts, the BBC reported.
  • Infidels MC leader Johnny “Taz” Mulford serves as UG Solutions’ country team leader in Gaza and helped recruit others, with an errant email exposing additional hires.
  • UG Solutions said it conducts comprehensive background checks, does not screen for personal affiliations, and called Mulford trusted, while GHF cited a zero-tolerance policy for discriminatory conduct.
  • A UN report tallied at least 859 Palestinians killed near GHF sites, and AP reported accounts and videos indicating contractors used live ammunition and stun grenades, which UG denies firing on civilians.
  • Documents reviewed by the BBC showed pay of about $980 per day for contractors and $1,150 for team leaders, as civil-rights group CAIR condemned the hires and urged removal of GHF from Gaza.
