'Those children look very hungry': Trump rejects Netanyahu's claim on Gaza starvation
In a rare disagreement with the Israeli leader, US President Donald Trump has rejected Benjamin Netanyahu's position on starvation in the Gaza Strip and flagged the hunger among Palestinian children there. read more US President Donald Trump (R) and UK's Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer (C) speak with members of the media prior to a bilateral meeting at the Trump Turnberry Golf Courses, in Turnberry southwest Scotland on July 28, 2025, as Victoria Starmer (R) stands by. (Photo: Christopher Furlong/Pool/AFP) In a rare disagreement with the Israeli leader, US President Donald Trump has rejected the position of Benjamin Netanyahu on starvation in the Gaza Strip. Trump on Monday said that 'those children look very hungry' about Palestinians in Gaza. As starvation is rising in Gaza by the day, more and more countries and organisations are joining in the condemnation of the Israeli policy of restricting the supply of food, medicine, and other essentials to Gaza. For months, food has been scarce in Gaza and hundreds of Palestinians have been killed —in what they say to be Israeli fire— while awaiting food at distribution site of US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD When asked in an interaction with the media during his trip to Scotland whether he agreed with Netanyahu on the situation in Gaza, Trump said, 'I don't know. I mean, based on the television, I would say not particularly. Those children look very hungry.' Speaking beside British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Trump further said that that his 'number one position' regarding Gaza was to 'get people fed' there. 'There are a lot of starving people there,' Trump further said. Trump said that while the United States had given $60 million, other countries would need to step up. He said that European Union (EU) chief Ursula von der Leyen had assured him that European nations would raise their contribution to Gaza. Starmer said that that the situation in Gaza was an 'absolute catastrophe'. 'Nobody wants to see that. People in Britain are revolted to see that,' said Starmer, adding that his government was working with Jordan to get supplies airdropped in Gaza. Netanyahu continues to maintain there's no starvation in Gaza Even as global condemnation rises by the day, Netanyahu has continued to maintain that there is no starvation in Gaza. He has called it a 'bold faced lie'. 'There is no policy of starvation in Gaza and there is no starvation in Gaza,' Netanyahu further said on Sunday. In sharp contrast to Netanyahu, the United Nations (UN) has maintained that around one in five children in Gaza Strip are now acutely malnourished and at least 63 people have died from malnutrition in July alone. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The UN has said that the hunger crisis in Gaza is 'entirely preventable' and accused Israel of the 'deliberate blocking and delay of large-scale food, health and humanitarian aid'.

Following the deadly shooting at a popular food market in Thai capital Bangkok, visuals have surfaced showing the gunman and the chaotic scenes in the area. The mass shooting incident at Or Tor Kor Market left at least six people dead on Monday. Located near Chatuchak Market, the food market is a major weekend attraction for both locals and tourists. The identity of the gunman has not been established yet. According to police, the shooter opened fire at the market, killing five individuals, including four security guards and a woman. After the killings, he shot himself dead with the same weapon. The moment when chaos unfolded as shoppers rushed to take cover amid the sound of gunfire, was captured on camera. In the video, people were seen running to save their lives as gunman continued to fire multiple shots. Another video showing the suspected gunman brandishing a gun while moving through the market's parking lot, has also emerged. Worapat Sukthai, deputy police chief of Bangkok's Bang Sue district, where the incident happened, said police are probing the motive of the gunman. 'Police are investigating the motive. So far it's a mass shooting," news agency AFP quoted Worapat Sukthai as saying. Sukthai said the suspect killed himself after the shooting, and police were working to identify him. The cop added that they were investigating 'for any possible link" to the border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia. Mass shootings are not rare in Thailand. The country faces challenges with firearm accessibility due to weak enforcement of gun control laws. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 18:09 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
