Foreign Minister Gideon Saar addressed the UN Security Council, stating that “Israel is delivering humanitarian aid and the quantities are increasing every day, yet we are still accused of starvation. But the truth is that Hamas is starving the hostages.” Minister Saar referenced the video of hostage Aviatar David, adding that “Aviatar spoke about entire days when he didn’t eat at all. They haven’t seen a Red Cross representative to this day despite this being agreed upon in the November deal. Medications haven’t reached them. Meanwhile, their murderers in our prisons receive medical treatment and food. While Hamas starves the hostages, the media reports lies.”
