Sadly this is not true. According to Alex De Waal https://www.democracynow.org/2024/2/5/alex_de_waal without a ceasefire there will still be an exponential increase in hunger even if food is allowed in during the bombardment. So although it is right that food is allowed in, without a ceasefire the hunger will not be adequately addressed.
Am I right in thinking that Donald Trump has said very little, if anything, about the genocide being perpetrated by Israel on Gaza?
I thought I’d just do a quick search re >donald trump gaza genocide< and the following article from yesterday came up in the results:
'Trump Says Israel Has To ‘Finish The Problem’ In Gaza After Months Of Silence'
Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Israeli forces involved in the military offensive against Palestinians have to “finish the problem,” after months of staying silent on the violence in Gaza.
In a phone interview on “Fox & Friends,” hosts Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones asked the GOP front-runner if he was “on board” with the way Israeli forces have been carrying out their offensive in Gaza.
“You’ve got to finish the problem,” Trump said. “You had a horrible invasion that took place, that would have never happened if I was president, by the way.”
Trump dodged multiple questions by the “Fox & Friends” hosts on his stances related to Israel and Gaza and instead reiterated that the Oct. 7 attack and Israel’s retaliation would not have happened had he been president.
“They wouldn’t have done it to me I guarantee you that,” he said. “They did this because they have no respect for Biden, and frankly, they got soft.”
Despite the president’s strong allyship with Israel, Trump would likely still be the preferred candidate for the Israeli government’s far-right leaders, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Last month, Ben Gvir told The Wall Street Journal that Trump would give the Israeli right a stronger backing than Biden currently does.
