Speaking in an interview with Kan Reshet Bet, Segal responded to the claims of famine in Gaza, saying: “Nothing coming out of Gaza is factual. There are no foreign journalists in Gaza; all information coming out of there essentially passes through the Hamas filter. I’m not saying there’s no hunger — I’m just saying let’s put it in perspective.”
According to Segal, the humanitarian issue could be resolved if not for UN obstinacy. “To ensure food security for Gaza’s residents, around 100 trucks a day are needed. The foundation is bringing in about 50 trucks, but another 50 are waiting in UN warehouses. The UN refuses to distribute the food because it won’t allow the IDF to secure the convoys and is demanding a ceasefire.”
He also accused the UN of withholding funding. “It’s a political organization with its own interests, and it does things the way it thinks things need to be done. It’s shutting off the flow of massive amounts of US funding and food, which ultimately don’t reach the Gazan population.” Segal explained that the food shortage serves Hamas’ war strategy: “The terror organization's entire war economy is based on only one thing — food. If you want to prolong the war indefinitely, keep transferring food through Hamas-controlled channels.” (Read More)
