Netanyahu: "No starvation in Gaza" Trump: "The children look very hungry"

Donald Trump said he disagrees with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that no starvation is taking place among the people of Gaza.

"Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry," Trump said July 28 when asked by a reporter whether he agrees with Netanyahu's assessment. "But we're giving a lot of money and a lot of food, and other nations are now stepping up."

Trump made the remarks ahead of a bilateral meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland, where the second-term U.S. president arrived July 25 for a four-day trip.

As images of emaciated children in Gaza have alarmed the world, Netanyahu denied Israel is conducting a starvation campaign, calling such accusations a "bold-faced lie" and even rejecting that starvation is occurring.

“There is no policy of starvation in Gaza and there is no starvation in Gaza," Netanyahu said July 27.

The Gaza health ministry said July 28 that at least 14 people had died in the past 24 hours of starvation and malnutrition, bringing the war's death toll from hunger to 147, including 89 children, most of them in just the last few weeks.

To help get additional food into Gaza, Israel on July 27 announced a halt in military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of Gaza and new aid corridors as Jordan and the United Arab Emirates airdropped supplies into the enclave.

Trump, speaking alongside Starmer at his golf resort, said the United States had provided $60 million for humanitarian aid, and other nations would have to step up.

Trump said he discussed the Gaza conflict with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on July 27, and she told him European countries would ramp up their assistance.

Starmer called the mounting starvation in Gaza a "humanitarian crisis" and an "absolute catastrophe," adding that "the people in Britain are revolted by what they're seeing on their screens."

Israel cut off all supplies to Gaza from the start of March and reopened the territory with new restrictions in May. Israel says it abides by international law but must prevent aid from being diverted by militants, and it blames Hamas for the suffering of Gaza's people.

"You have a lot of starving people," Trump said, later criticizing the Hamas militant group for not agreeing to release more Israeli hostages, living and dead. Trump said he told Netanyahu that Israel's approach would likely have to change.

"I told Bibi that you have to maybe do it a different way."

Wait, so the Hamas-enthralled "Palestinians" start a terror war, breaking the ceasefire, killing thousands, including raping, kidnapping and beheading innocents, then make Israel whom they attacked responsible for their care and feeding, while playing victim to the always ready to Jew-hate Western world?

Ok, that makes sense.

I shudder at the living conditions: cold, hot, hungry, dirty, smelly, unhygienic, hazardous, crime-ridden... All human life going on behind (hopefully) the fabric of a thin tent: births, deaths, illness, domestic arguments, sexual intercourse, wailing. The constant grief of having lost everything and little hope for the future.

The Jews certainly learned a lot from Hitler.

Palestinians have declined a 2-state solution since the 1930s. Israel held the Gaza Strip, but, in the interest of peace, evacuated the strip in 2005. The Palestinians responded by increasing the rate of rocket fire from Gaza into Israel.

The fantasy of a two-state solution is a Western fixation. Israelis might not love the idea, but would go along with it if it brought peace. It's the Palestinians who cannot abide living alongside a Jewish state and have never agreed. They seem to be holding on to the fantasy of kicking out the Jews.

R34, as a part of the Oslo Accords the PLO recognized the permanent existence of Israel. Israel has never agreed to a Palestinian state; it insisted on controlling water rights and air space and did not want Palestine to have a military, although it wanted it’s own troops to be able to operate in Palestine. That’s not statehood.

Israel also did not withdraw from Gaza “in the interest of peace.” Keeping settlements there was too expensive and required too many troops. Thereafter Israel conducted repeated bombing campaigns of Gaza.

Because we get fed so much Israeli bs propaganda. Gays are treated well in Tel Aviv, not throughout Israeli. Right wing Israelis detest gays and they run the government. They had a list of rights to take away from gays but Bibi quashed most of them.

The "Palestinians", a fake ethnicity created by Yasser Arafat in the 70s have created for themselves permanent victim status, approved by the UN, of course. They are the ONLY people in the world designated as "displaced" thus giving them a special fund and decades to convince the Western lefties to build a case against Jewish people, er, I mean "Zionists".

It is all working out wonderfully for them, they can rape and murder with abandon and STILL complain about the people they murdered (and wish dead) are not supplying food/aid fast enough, and our hateful lefties cheer on!

It will all change when Hamas runs out of Gazans to kill, starve and use as human shields, but as always, "Death to Israel!", huh?

R36, you’re free to find a statement from Sharon saying that he was withdrawing the settlements for the sake of “peace,” but I doubt that you will find it. Famously, the Gaza withdrawal was made unilaterally, without any consultation with the Palestinians, and Sharon was specific about his intention to concentrate Israel’s resources on the West Bank. This article, from 2004, clearly shows that.

From Sharon's UN speech after the disengagement from Gaza:

[quote]I, as someone whose path of life led him to be a fighter and commander in all Israel’s wars, reaches out today to our Palestinian neighbors in a call for reconciliation and compromise to end the bloody conflict, and embark on the path which leads to peace and understanding between our peoples. I view this as my calling and my primary mission for the coming years.
