Wife of late Sen. John McCain facing calls to resign from UN post over failure to distribute emergency food in Gaza: ‘Wild incompetence’
NY Post ^ | 9/09/25 | Josh Christenson

WASHINGTON — Calls are mounting in both Congress and the Trump administration for the widow of late Arizona Sen. John McCain to resign from or be forced out of her United Nations post overseeing food distribution in the Gaza Strip, following months of botched aid drop-offs and rampant looting by Hamas.

UN World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director Cindy McCain has been criticized by ex-colleagues, lawmakers and officials for failing to work with Israel’s military and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to provide food, water and other assistance to Palestinians.

“If WFP was doing its job,” one senior US official told The Post, “Hamas wouldn’t be enriched and able to continue to prolong the war.”

“It’s wild incompetence,” this person added of McCain. “She’s either a useful idiot or she’s an active accomplice in what is ultimately an enormous, fraudulent use of taxpayer dollars.”

Another former WFP official called McCain “a disaster,” adding that she was known to be doing the job from her home state of Arizona — while the global agency she ostensibly runs is “taking orders” from other officials in New York.

“She’s treating this like it’s some kind of a board chairmanship that you don’t really have to show up for, and it’s not that,” the official fumed. “It’s a highly operational job.”

In August alone, all but two of 2,309 trucks were intercepted and cleared out in Gaza, either by starving Palestinians or “forcefully armed actors,” according to a UN data tracking dashboard.

Nearly 33 tons have been ransacked off the vehicles since May of this year.

Why did they hire her? Sounds like if they hired her they’re getting exactly what they want.

Those are not mutually exclusive choices. Sometimes you really can have it all.

Cindy McCain was awarded a ceremonial job her anti Trump campaigning. Trump was right about the McCains. They’re all rats.

,,, the decades have rolled by and we’ve probably all come to the conclusion that the Mafia could do the UN’s job with more integrity.

The UN is complicit in the Gaza tragedy, only way to get aid in there is for Israel to destroy humus and take Gaza under complete control

““She’s either a useful idiot or she’s an active accomplice in what is ultimately an enormous, fraudulent use of taxpayer dollars. “Those are not mutually exclusive choices. Sometimes you really can have it all.””

You can put every Democrat into one of two categories. They are either useful idiots or part of the leadership of the WEF or Global Islamocommunist Party.

“and rampant looting by Hamas.”

Hamas and their goathumpers in Paliland are not destroyed yet and they need to be obliterated down to the toenail if aid of any kind is to be successful. Iran has not got the message yet along with addition to no apparent strategy to distribute any aid.

Have no idea what the second step should be but the first step is to fire Ms. McCain.

It is not her failure, one first needs to know what the terms of success are and for her and the UN their terms of success in that food distribution were probably meet. This is not incompetence, this is design.

In fact, I am sure the organization internally sees the efforts as widely successful to date.
