Trump, Netanyahu Argue Over Gaza Starvation Reports

A recent phone call between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly escalated into a heated exchange over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with Trump challenging Netanyahu's denial of widespread starvation and referencing images of hungry children. Netanyahu's office has denied reports of the argument, calling them 'complete fake news.' The incident underscores growing tensions between the US and Israel regarding conditions in Gaza, where international organizations have warned of acute malnutrition and food shortages amid ongoing conflict. The episode has intensified international scrutiny of Israel's actions and the US response as humanitarian concerns mount. Both the White House and Israeli officials have declined to comment on the private call. No confirmation was given regarding any US envoy being sent to coordinate aid following the exchange.
