Israel at War

President Donald Trump contradicted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's position on Gaza starvation during a press briefing at his Turnberry golf property in Scotland.

Israeli officials confirm five-year-old Osama al-Raqab suffers from genetic diseases, not war-related starvation as claimed in viral social media posts.

According to diplomatic sources, a new political order for Gaza is being discussed in Washington. It was also reported that reconstruction efforts would be conditional on the absence of terrorism and the cooperation of a local force with Israel.

The prime minister addressed claims of starvation in Gaza during a conference in Jerusalem, stating, “what is preventing the supply of humanitarian aid is one force: Hamas.”

Hamas-affiliated sources are outraged, accusing the group of maintaining ties with the Palestinian Authority. According to the sources, it is a relatively small group that assists with intelligence-gathering missions.

Sources involved in the discussions on changing Israel’s aid policy in Gaza say the move is not a response to a “campaign” but reflect a desire to preserve US legitimacy for the war effort. “The rush for the aid shows there’s a shortage, as do the rising prices,” one source told Israel Hayom.

Israel has resumes aerial aid drops over Gaza, delivering food via military coordination, as part of revamped humanitarian efforts to refute false claims of deliberate starvation.
