Israeli government spokesman David Mencer accuses Hamas of hoarding supplies, saying they have “enough food” in Gaza a day after Israel blocked aid deliveries amid an impasse in truce talks.
Mencer tells a press briefing that the Palestinian group is hoarding supplies for its operatives “for months and months” and has “enough food to fuel an obesity epidemic,” adding that “no one is going hungry in Hamas” and that “the supplies are there, but Hamas don’t share.”
