Israeli Official's Comments on Gaza Starvation Spark International Outrage
ai generated text
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has made comments suggesting that starving the population of Gaza, which is home to over 2 million Palestinians, might be "just and moral".
We expect the wider Israeli government to retract and condemn them.
You cannot fight Hamas with one hand and give them aid with the other. It's his (Hamas') money, it's his fuel, it's his civilian control of the Gaza Strip. It just doesn't work.
No one in the world will allow us to starve 2 million people, even though it might be justified and moral in order to free the hostages.
It is a principle of international law and of humanity to protect civilians in a war and to give them access to water and food.
