A picture of Osama al-Rakab, 5, was “used to falsely depict Israel as responsible for his condition, claiming Israel is starving children,” including in Italian media and on Al Jazeera, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit stated.
“Osama suffers from a serious genetic illness unrelated to the war. On June 12, we actively coordinated Osama’s exit from Gaza with his mother and brother through the Ramon airport,” stated COGAT.
The boy is currently being treated in an Italian hospital, it continued.
“Tragic images rightfully stir strong emotions, but when they’re misused to fuel hatred and lies, they do more harm than good,” said COGAT. “Don’t let compassion be exploited for propaganda.
“Check the facts before parroting blame,” the Defense Ministry unit stated, attaching a picture showing Osama in a hospital gown in Italy.

The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday morning announced a series of humanitarian measures aimed at refuting “the false claim of deliberate starvation” in Gaza, including “tactical pauses” in the war on Hamas.
While emphasizing that “combat operations have not ceased” across the Strip, the IDF said pauses in military activities would be instituted in Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City “every day until further notice.”
The decision to cease fighting in those areas between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. was coordinated with United Nations officials and other international organizations “following discussions regarding the matter,” it stated.
Humanitarian corridors will be established to enable the movement of U.N. convoys delivering food and medicine to Gazans. The secure aid routes will remain in place permanently between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.
The IDF added that it was prepared to expand the scale of its humanitarian response in the coastal enclave “as required.”
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told NBC‘s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that since the war started, Jerusalem has supplied over 94,000 truckloads of food, “enough to feed two million people for two years.”
“But Hamas has stolen the food,” Johnson continued. “In fact, in 2024, the numbers are that Hamas profited over $500 million in stolen food aid that was supposed to go to these poor people who needed it.”
Calling the ongoing United Nations-led aid efforts in the Strip a “broken system,” the politician noted the IDF will be “opening new channels of distribution to get it to those people who are desperately in need—that’s Israel’s intention and that is the U.S.’s intention and the U.N. as well.”
U.S. @SpeakerJohnson told the simple truth:
Since the war began, Israel has allowed 94,000 truckloads of food into Gaza—enough to feed 2 million people for two years—while Hamas has profited $500 million from stolen aid.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a gathering of evangelical Christians in Jerusalem on Sunday that “there is no starvation in Gaza … and I assure you that we have a commitment to achieve our war goals.
“We will continue to fight till we achieve the release of our hostages and the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities. They shall be there no more.”
YES!! It is about time to expose the Nazi DEMOCRAT and MEDIA BIG LIE and BLOOD LIBEL claiming “starvation” which just today was accepted by President Trump in his meeting with Starmer!
Every single “mainstream” media, included those quoted and therefore republished by TJV in its “reporting“ evilly repeat and validate those antisemite anti-Israel BLOOD LIBELS!
I wish TJ V had been doing that all along and for every “story“!
It is a mistake to cooperate with the anti-Israel ENEMY UN, which has always funded and cooperated with Hamas. And we should stop pretending that any Gazan is in any way
a “victim”. Hamas is THEIR government, and 100% of them fully cooperate in everything the Gazans have done during and since October 7.
Unlike the “righteous” Gentiles during the Holocaust, there are NO “righteous Gazans”. They are all Muslim monsters, as are the Arabs living in Israel, who when polled admit to overwhelmingly supporting October 7. It is sickening to hear American Jewish organizations and American Jews supporting giving these monsters a state?
(There is a typo at the end of the last sentence installed by the dictation program – the question mark should be an exclamation mark.)
For TJV readers to view at their leisure:
BUSTED! Media pushes Gaza ‘famine’ story, leaves out this SHOCKING detail

By the way, Emily Schrader is giving some credence to there being any “starvation” at all in Gaza. It is a LIE. There is none. The point of this link is to provide readers the comments from all four of the commentators, which together discredit the antisemite Nazi media Big Lies.
