Israel calls warnings of famine risk in Gaza 'a lie'

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar on Sunday called repeated warnings of the risk of famine in Gaza "a lie" after his government suspended aid deliveries over a disagreement on the extension of the ceasefire in the Palestinian territory.

"With regards to this starvation [claim], that was a lie during all this war. That was a lie," Saar said at a press conference in Jerusalem, in response to a question about what would happen if people began to starve.
