At an event in Jerusalem with White House Faith Office leader Paula White, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted the U.N.'s "excuses and lies" with regard to the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday categorically rejected claims of starvation in the Gaza Strip, dismissing such reports as “a bold-faced lie.”
Speaking at a Daystar TV conference in Jerusalem hosted by Pastor Paula White, leader of the White House Faith Office, Netanyahu said, “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza.” Israel, he continued, had “enabled humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza. Otherwise, there would be no Gazans.”
It is Hamas that had been preventing the distribution of aid in Gaza, said Netanyahu, noting that Israel had supplied 1.9 million tons of food to the war-ravaged territory since the beginning of the war nearly two years ago.
