Huckabee: False Claims

US Ambassador to the Israeli occupation Mike Huckabee claimed that the real starvation crisis in Gaza affects only Israeli prisoners, not the Palestinians.

He also promoted a graphic denying any Israeli policy of starvation, claiming that Israel has allowed up to 700 aid trucks per day, depending on supply from the UN and NGOs, a claim that is not supported by any evidence.

In contrast, Gaza’s Government Media Office reported that only 36 aid trucks out of 22,000 entered the Strip on Saturday. UNRWA says at least 500 to 600 trucks are needed daily to meet minimum humanitarian needs, a target that has never been reached.

UN experts and rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, have repeatedly stressed that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.
