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.

"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.”
 McCain was appointed by former President Joe Biden and approved by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to lead the WFP for a five-year term starting in April 2023.

While WFP spent almost $10 billion on aid in total last year, US taxpayers contributed nearly $4.5 billion of that amount.

Meanwhile, deliveries in Gaza are being pilfered by young Palestinian males before being sold on the black market, likely to the benefit of Hamas.
