US said to demand Israel declare it’s not deliberately starving Palestinians in Gaza

The Biden administration’s Middle East aid envoy Lisa Grande reportedly made demands of Israel regarding the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, in a harsh phone call with Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians, COGAT chief Gen. Ghassan Alian.

Channel 12 news reports that Grande demanded during the call that Israel declare it is not following a policy of deliberately starving Gazans amid the ongoing war, which was sparked by Hamas’s brutal massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

She also demanded that Israel cancel all civilian evacuation orders, allow Palestinians who have been evacuated to return to their homes, and present a comprehensive plan to reduce harm to civilian infrastructure, according to the report.

Israel's "greatest ally".
US policy must change. I hope Trump restores the integrity of being a trustworthy ally to Israel. Unreal

I have absolutely no doubt that he will. Perhaps that's why the Left is working so hard to disrupt things and put Israel into an impossible position while they can.

From the article:
“Stunned” by the call, Alian was said to respond: “What kind of proportionality is expected from the IDF when it is acting against a terrorist organization whose deliberate modus operandi is to fight from inside civilian areas and civilian and humanitarian facilities, including hospitals, residential buildings, UN facilities, and others, while simultaneously keeping 100 hostages in these areas.”

“I am astounded that you raise the notion that we are following a policy of deliberate starvation. We are bringing in aid on a wide scale and without limitation, and there has been an increase in the inflow of aid since October, especially in November,” the COGAT chief said, according to Channel 12.

Lisa Grande is clearly either not very smart or her intelligence has been subsumed by her Leftist indoctrination. (Or perhaps that first possibility is a result of the second.)

There's video record of a lot of food and supplies that were meant for the Gazans and Hamas took into the tunnels for the terrorists.
If anyone just looks at pictures of the Palestinians they don't look famished. They have a healthy appearance.

If anyone just looks at pictures of the Palestinians they don't look famished. They have a healthy appearance.

According to Carolyn Glick there is enough for each person to get 3,000 calories daily.

What’s so stupid is how the US and UN, plus NGOs all insist that it’s okay for Hamas to distribute supplies.
