Jerusalem, Israel - Aug. 29, 2025 - On Wednesday, 27 August, Prime Minister Netanyahu met in Jerusalem with U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham and Cindy McCain, Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP).
They discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza and that Hamas loots the aid. Mrs. McCain acknowledged that the stolen aid that goes to Hamas is not humanitarian. Hamas seizes it and sells it at extortionate prices.
She said that during her recent visit to Gaza, she saw a dramatic improvement: food was available, prices had dropped, and markets showed goods in sufficient supply and at affordable prices.
It is regrettable that Mrs. McCain has since issued statements contradicting what she told us in Jerusalem. That is a misrepresentation.
Israel is enabling a steady flow of aid in sufficient quantities.
Instead of blaming Israel with false accusations, the WFP should fully cooperate with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is working diligently to provide food to the needy.
The only ones being intentionally starved in Gaza are our hostages held by Hamas.
