Lammy slams Israeli minister over 'moral' starvation claim

The Cabinet minister urged Benjamin Netanyahu's government to distance itself from the remarks by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. In a speech in Israel on Monday, Mr Smotrich argued that Israel should take control of distributing aid inside Gaza so Hamas does not have any power over it.

"It is impossible in today's global reality to wage war - no one in the world would let us starve and thirst two million citizens, even though it may be just and moral until they return our hostages," he added.
