US President Donald Trump said Monday that he is “not particularly convinced” by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assurance that there is no starvation in Gaza, and later asserted there was “real starvation” in the Strip, adding: “You can’t fake that.”

Trump’s comments, along with promises to set up “food centers” in the Strip, came amid global condemnations of Israel for the humanitarian situation in the enclave, after images circulated last week of emaciated children in the war-torn territory.

Israel has said there is no widespread famine in Gaza, asserting that the photos are of isolated cases or are misleading, but started yesterday to pause all fighting in large swathes of the Strip for 10 hours each day, while facilitating a surge of aid by land and air.

  1. Hamas finally found a strategy that works.
    If there's any food shortages,. it's in areas not under Israeli control. But who gets blamed? The Jews.
