„There is no famine. There is no humanitarian disaster. And according to the [captives’] testimonies – there are also no innocents or uninvolved people,“ Israeli minister Miri Regev write in a post on her X account on Thursday.

Posting The New York Times front page photo showing a Gazan woman cradling her malnourished child, she claimed, “We are not waiting for an apology, not from the New York Times, not from ‚Haaretz,‘ and not from the hundreds of media outlets that echoed the lie of famine in Gaza.“

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously echoed similar assertions, denying any starvations in Gaza.
