Media reports Trump yelled at Netanyahu for denying Gaza starvation
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump reportedly raised his voice at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call after Netanyahu downplayed reports of starvation in Gaza, NBC News reported. Netanyahu has publicly denied that starvation exists in the blockaded Palestinian enclave, attributing hunger claims to Hamas propaganda. However, Trump pushed back, citing evidence from his aides confirming the humanitarian crisis.
The call, initiated by Netanyahu, reportedly became mostly one-sided, with Trump dominating the conversation. Netanyahu’s office denied the report, labeling it “complete fake news.”
Trump’s concern may be linked to US backing of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israeli-affiliated group providing limited aid in Gaza but criticized by the UN for alleged ties to intelligence and covert agendas. The UN has accused Israel of blocking food deliveries and reported nearly 1,400 deaths in Gaza from starvation-related incidents.
Meanwhile, Israel prepares for a military operation to seize Gaza City, escalating the ongoing conflict further.
