NBC News: Trump yelled at Netanyahu in a conversation about the starving children of Gaza

US President Donald Trump yelled at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a telephone conversation that focused on the humanitarian crisis and famine in the Gaza Strip. This was reported on August 8 by NBC News, citing American officials.

According to the source of the publication, Netanyahu told Trump that reports of mass famine in Gaza allegedly did not correspond to reality, and reports about it were fabricated by the Palestinian Hamas movement.

According to the TV channel, in response, Trump interrupted the Israeli prime minister and began shouting, saying that "he does not want to hear claims that the famine is fake and that his assistants showed him evidence."

Trump also noted that he had seen photos of children in Gaza who "look very hungry," saying that there is "real hunger" in the region and that "it cannot be simulated."

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.

"We survive on a pot of lentils — and often not even that"

Gazans told Izvestia about ivs for starving children and shelling near humanitarian aid trucks.

On July 28, Trump announced that he had no plans to take a specific position on the issue of recognizing the State of Palestine. He stressed that in the current situation, he considers the humanitarian crisis in the region more important, and 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.
