Israel Foreign Ministry Slams UK Foreign Secretary Over Gaza Aid Claims
Israel's Foreign Ministry has strongly criticized UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband for what it termed "fake news" regarding the entry of medicines into the Gaza Strip. Miliband had released a video statement after meeting with individuals who had been in Gaza, relaying "stories" they shared about alleged restrictions on medicine and children dying while awaiting medical care.
The Israeli ministry responded by stating that if Miliband were interested in facts, he would know there are no restrictions on medicines entering Gaza. The ministry provided official data indicating that 22,500 tons of medical supplies have been delivered to the enclave since the ceasefire, and 200 Gazans have traveled abroad for treatment in the past two weeks.
Israel's Foreign Ministry also reminded Miliband that the UK is a participant in the International Support Center for Gaza, which directly facilitates medical aid, implying he should be aware of the facts. The ministry concluded that "facts apparently matter less when you are making a video for a political audience."
