Israel’s foreign minister excoriates foreign media outlets, including The New York Times and Washington Post, which prominently featured photographs of Gazans allegedly starving, while refusing to publish photographs of emaciated Israeli hostages.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar (New Hope) castigated foreign media outlets on Monday, accusing them of refusing to publish photographs of starving Israeli hostages held in Gaza, while pushing Hamas claims of a famine in the Gaza Strip.
Sa’ar addressed reporters at a press conference at the Israeli Foreign Ministry headquarters in Jerusalem, blasting the “well-orchestrated propaganda campaign” conducted by Hamas and other Gaza terror groups to rally international opinion against Israel, accusing Israel of causing a famine in the Gaza Strip.
“These organizations also planned the ‘starvation campaign’ of lies together. The amount of aid entering proves that is a fake propaganda campaign,” Sa’ar said, rejecting claims pushed by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry of widespread starvation in Gaza.
