NBC News reported on Trump's displeasure with Netanyahu over the mass famine in Gaza
US President Donald Trump yelled at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a telephone conversation while discussing the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. This was reported on August 8 by NBC News, citing two former American officials.
"Netanyahu and President Donald Trump had a personal telephone conversation, which turned into shouting amid the White House's concern about the work of the Humanitarian Aid Fund for Gaza, funded by the United States and Israel," the material says.
According to the newspaper, Netanyahu told Trump that the mass famine in the Gaza Strip was not true and that it was fabricated by the Palestinian Hamas movement. However, Trump interrupted the Israeli Prime Minister and began shouting, saying that he did not want to hear that the famine was fake, and that "his assistants showed him evidence that children were starving there."
It is noted that the United States and Israel did not comment on the incident. According to the TV channel, during the conversation that took place on July 28, the American leader spoke most of the time.
On July 28, Trump announced that he had no plans to take a specific position on the issue of recognizing the State of Palestine. According to the politician, in the current situation, he considers the humanitarian crisis in the region more important. He added that the children in the Gaza Strip actually look very hungry, despite Netanyahu's statements to the contrary.
On August 4, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported an increase to 180 people in the number of deaths from starvation amid the blockade of the Gaza Strip. It was clarified that 93 children were among the dead. Later, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said that Israel's refusal to provide for the citizens of the Gaza Strip could be qualified as a crime against humanity.
