"The only ones deliberately starving are our hostages," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a press conference, showing a photo of hostage Evyatar David, who had lost a lot of weight. His attempt to brand the famine, witnessed by the entire world, that is killing the population of Gaza as a manipulation by Hamas.
"The war can end tomorrow if Hamas lays down its weapons and frees all remaining hostages," Netanyahu continued, emphasizing that Gaza will be demilitarized and Israel will retain "responsibility for security," and that a "non-Israeli civil administration" will be established in Gaza. This is our plan for the day after," he added.
Continuing the unrealistic trend, the Tel Aviv leader added that "our policy has always been to avoid a humanitarian crisis" in Gaza. Israel has distributed "2 million tons of aid" and made thousands of "text messages and phone calls to Gazans to warn them away from danger."
And whose fault would it be? "In recent months, Hamas has boycotted aid, creating a shortage of supplies," he added. The prime minister also accused the UN of "unwilling to deliver aid" that is stuck at the Gaza Strip's borders.
