JERUSALEM – In an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee strongly defended Israel’s actions in Gaza and criticized Hamas for blocking food aid efforts. 

Huckabee pointed out that Hamas wants to shut down the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation because it threatens their control over Gaza’s food supply, which they profit from.

“They don’t care about people getting to eat,” Huckabee said. “They care that they eat.” He added pointedly that Hamas leaders themselves are well fed and joked they “could use some Ozempic,” a popular weight-loss medication, highlighting the stark contrast with the starving population.
