Aid groups and charities have called for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to be disbanded.
The GHF relies on private US security and logistics firms to bring supplies into Gaza, largely bypassing a UN-led system that Israel says allowed militants to divert aid.
Since it began its work in late May, hundreds of people have been killed by gunfire at or around sites run by the group and guarded by the Israeli military.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army says it has launched a review into an airstrike on a popular Gaza seafront cafe that rescuers say has left 24 dead. Israel said it was targeting militants.

Medical teams in Gaza have been reporting more than 500 deaths near aid routes since the private-run scheme began, with the UN insisting the plan has been breaching humanitarian rules.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces says it is reviewing an airstrike on a Gaza beach cafe that killed 24 people.
