Responding to right-wing Israeli protest over the sudden about-face in Israel's aid blockade, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video that U.S. senators, whom he did not name, told him they would not be able to continue giving Israel military and diplomatic support if there was mass starvation in Gaza.
Following nearly three months of a humanitarian aid blockade that exacerbated widespread starvation across the Gaza Strip, Israel announced Sunday that it would allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into the region
Over the course of the past week, President Donald Trump publicly commented on the humanitarian situation in Gaza. “We’re looking at Gaza…. We’re going to get that taken care of. A lot of people are starving,” the president told reporters Friday.
