PNN – After the publication of images of a Zionist prisoner in Gaza whose bones were sticking out from extreme hunger, Netanyahu no longer has any justification for denying the disaster of famine and starvation in Gaza, and it has become clear that there is no food anywhere in Gaza.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Al Jazeera, after the release of a video by the Palestinian resistance showing signs of severe hunger in a Zionist prisoner in the Gaza Strip, the cabinet of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the occupation regime no longer has an excuse to deny the famine in Gaza; where this Zionist prisoner, in a low voice and without any energy, tells the cabinet of the occupation regime, “I am dying of hunger, bring me food.”

Netanyahu’s ridiculous maneuver to deny the famine in Gaza
A few days ago, Netanyahu came out and said that no one is hungry in Gaza and denied that hunger in Gaza is his cabinet’s policy. Netanyahu claimed that the Zionist army allowed humanitarian aid to enter during the Gaza war and then presented a ridiculous argument and said: The presence of Gaza residents in the strip proves that there is no famine.
For months, the Zionist regime has based its narrative about Gaza and the denial of famine and hunger on several excuses, including:
Since the Zionist regime has been promoting for decades that its army is the “most moral” army in the world, and Western and American platforms were mobilized to promote this narrative around the world, this time too the Zionists have counted on distorting world public opinion by relying on these Western-American media outlets, and in the most shameless way possible, they are denying the famine and hunger catastrophe that is happening in Gaza before the eyes of the world.
But this time, after images of the Zionist regime’s genocide and hunger war against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip have been published around the world, these arguments by the occupiers to deny their crimes, including the famine and starvation disaster in Gaza, are futile.
The Zionists claim that Hamas steals aid entering the Gaza Strip and sells it for many times its original price. But this claim was even rejected by the United Nations itself, which emphasized that basically no aid enters Gaza that is subject to looting. Some Western officials also denied this claim, and it was later proven that criminal gangs collaborating with the Zionist regime were stealing the meager aid that was entering the Gaza Strip with great difficulty, preventing it from reaching the needy.
The occupiers claim that Hamas is trying to attract world humanitarian sympathy by exaggerating the shortage of food and medicine in Gaza in order to pressure Tel Aviv to stop the war on Gaza.
However, this claim and accusation is refuted by the field and humanitarian conditions in Gaza, which have been monitored by the global media, and the reports published by reputable international organizations affiliated with the United Nations about the huge humanitarian catastrophe in this strip. United Nations organizations, including the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), have described the famine in Gaza as completely man-made, namely by the Zionist occupation regime.
The Zionist regime is trying to evade the obligations that any occupying party must fulfill under international law. Although the Zionist regime withdrew from Gaza about 20 years ago, it has been besieging Gaza and attacking it repeatedly for all these years. In practice, Gaza has been under the occupation of the Zionist regime, and this regime has never stopped behaving as an occupying party towards any of the Palestinians.
But in the case of the current famine in Gaza, the Zionist regime has tried to shift the blame to those who govern the Gaza Strip, specifically accusing Hamas, as well as some regional parties and Egypt. This is while the occupying regime occupies the other side of the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza and does not allow aid to enter through it, in clear violation of the crossing agreement signed in 2005.
Michael Fakhri, head of the UN food department, stated that the Gaza Humanitarian Fund is nothing more than a military and political scheme and has nothing to do with humanitarian issues because it uses food as a weapon. Also, the occupying forces are constantly attacking food distribution areas and shooting at hungry people who arrive there to further pressure the resistance and make life impossible for the residents of Gaza.
The UN official stressed that the occupying forces do not consider the people of Gaza to be human and are effectively engaging in ethnic cleansing. Human Rights Watch reported that Tel Aviv has created a flawed military system for distributing aid in Gaza and is using it to unleash a bloodbath.

How did the image of the starving Zionist prisoner disgrace Netanyahu?
The Israeli regime has recently been hiding behind propaganda claiming that some aid is entering the strip by land and air, in order to cover up its crimes and deny the disaster of famine and hunger in Gaza. UN reports describe the aid arriving in Gaza in recent days as a drop in the ocean, while tens of thousands of trucks carrying humanitarian aid that could be life-saving for the people of Gaza are stuck behind the crossings, with the occupying regime not allowing them to enter.
The Israeli regime ignored a statement issued by 23 countries, including high-ranking officials from the European Union, calling for the immediate resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza. It also ignored a joint statement by the leaders of France, Britain, and Canada calling for an end to the genocidal war against the people of Gaza.
The release of the video sparked a strong reaction in the Israeli community and angered the Zionists. Yair Lapid, the head of the Israeli opposition, asked whether the cabinet members could sleep with a clear conscience after seeing the deplorable condition of this prisoner. The images being released of this prisoner, as well as the starving people of Gaza, evoke the conditions of Jews imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps.
The clip in question particularly angered the families of the Zionist prisoners, who chanted a slogan that said: Stop this madness and sign a comprehensive agreement to return all prisoners.
Observers believe that these pressures may lead to a partial reduction in the depth of the famine in Gaza, and that Netanyahu may resort to new apparent measures to prevent the consequences of the famine in Gaza on the conditions of the Israeli regime and deepen its international isolation, including establishing so-called “humanitarian” ceasefires on a daily basis in densely populated areas.
But it is clear that such measures cannot end the catastrophic famine in Gaza, and the only way to end this disaster is to stop the war.
