London – asked if he believed that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says there is no starvation crisis in Gaza, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, replied: “I don’t know”, but then mentioned the images of hungry children in Gaza that appear on television.
“I don’t know. I want to say, according to television, I would say not particularly, because these children seem very hungry, but we are giving a lot of money and a lot of food, and other nations are now taking a step forward,” Trump said Monday as he met with the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland.
Starmer intervened quickly, calling what is happening in Gaza a humanitarian crisis and “an absolute catastrophe.”
