This seems to be a key aspect of the thing, if there are no US soldiers in Gaza accompanying aid shipments, the IDF can keep attacking the shipments "by mistake", right?
Even if they are, Israeli forces have attacked and killed Americans before
Probably eventually what's going to be needed is escorted aid shipments and a public statement that any aggression by Israel against American actions in Gaza will get a proportional response against Israeli armed forces.
I'd say that's heavily implied after the Liberty tbh and Israel would know it. Fool me once and all that.

I'd imagine the US will ensure the food reaches Gaza, the issue is that Hamas may still intercept it before it reaches civilians. In war zones like this you really need peacekeepers on the ground - ideally in kitchens where civilians can be allowed to eat in peace. As soon as people leave the safe site there's a risk someone with a gun will just take the supplies from them.
And just to clarify, I don't like either Hamas or Netanyahu... none of this shit would be necessary if the IDF wasn't purposefully blocking aide from being shipped over ground connections. This is a solution to a problem the IDF caused.
