U.S. social media influencer Montana Tucker recently visited Israel on a trip organized by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and toured a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution center in Rafah.
In a post on X reflecting on her trip, Tucker said she had gone to Gaza to “see with my own eyes what is really happening on the grounds there, not what the media is portraying.”
“What I saw was beyond devastating,” she noted. “The destruction is overwhelming, and no one should ever have to live like this. But let me be clear — none of this would have happened if Hamas hadn’t launched their brutal attack attempting to destroy Israel on October 7. That day, they slaughtered not only Israelis, but Americans, French, British, Russians, Germans, etc. at a music festival, in their homes, and with their families. On October 6, there was a ceasefire. On October 7, Hamas chose war. The truth is, this war could literally end today if Hamas released the hostages and gave up their arms. These hostages are innocent people who never committed a crime and should have never been taken in the first place.”
“Hamas is the cause of the suffering of both Gazans and Israelis and that was confirmed by the civilians I spoke with in Gaza,” Tucker wrote. “They blame Hamas for their pain. We should all stand together in demanding the release of every hostage and the end of Hamas, so that innocent civilians in Gaza and Israel can finally live in peace. The GHF is doing such incredible/lifesaving work and I was apart of them serving their 150 millionth meal in Gaza.”
While in Gaza, Tucker filmed a video documenting her experience. Parts 1 and 2 can be viewed below.
Part 1:
What I witnessed inside Gaza is not what the world has been told to believe. I spoke to Gazans directly, I saw aid being delivered, and medical care being administered. I was there when the GHF handed out their 150 millionth meal. This is the truth behind the headlines. “Through… pic.twitter.com/NNubHsqlqW

Part 2:
I went into Gaza to see the TRUTH with my own eyes. Every single day, GHF and SAMARITAN’S PURSE doctors/medics, with ISRAEL’S help, show up for the people treating children, women, elderly, and men. While I was there, a young boy bravely told me Hamas hides in their hospitals,… pic.twitter.com/9P2rbiuVr4

Tucker has made more than a half-dozen solidarity visits to Israel in the two years since the October 7th massacre.
During past trips, she created three dance videos with CAM — “We Can Dance Again,” dedicated to the memory of the 364 young men and women murdered at the Nova music festival; “I’m a Survivor,” honoring the Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity in Gaza; and “Women, Life, Freedom,” paying homage to fortitude of Iranian women fighting the oppression of the Tehran regime.
The videos garnered tens of million of views across various social media platforms, highlighting Tucker’s global impact.
