"Netanyahu Denies Starvation in Gaza Despite Children's Deaths"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denies that Palestinians are starving in Gaza, blaming Hamas for the lack of humanitarian aid entering the territory. The United Nations warns of imminent famine and widespread malnutrition in Gaza, with one in six children under two suffering acute malnutrition. Netanyahu insists that Israel's policies aim to provide humanitarian aid, but cites concerns about Hamas stealing aid meant for civilians. The U.S. and EU have begun dropping food directly to Palestinians by air and accelerating aid delivery by sea, while Netanyahu claims to have suggested a maritime route for aid from Cyprus to President Joe Biden.
