Asked about the Trump administration’s position on Israel’s withholding of food and other basic needs for Palestinians, Tammy Bruce - holding her first briefing - indicated that it’s Hamas that makes conditions too dangerous for aid to be delivered.
“Aid can only be delivered in a safe framework, so as long as it is something that is unsafe or we can’t guarantee the safety of something moving in, that is going to be stopped,” she said. “It is not a withholding, but it certainly feels it’s a reflection of the framework of the situation on the ground,” she added.
“The hostages have got to be released. They need to be released now, the bodies they are holding, everything, everyone needs to be released. And without doing that, there is no path forward,” she continued, indicating that the Israeli blockade is indeed being used to squeeze Hamas.
This is the same Israel that was targeting and bombing food relief convoys last year, right?
Israel cannot guarantee their safety because you know, Israel might bomb them during a ceasefire.
“The aid can only be given if the area is safe.”
“Why is the area unsafe?”
“Because of what we’re going to do to you if you don’t capitulate.”
It’s sad and depressing seeing the world in such a state
“We’re not withholding food from civilians as a negotiating tactic, we’re ensuring the safety of the people who have plenty of food”
Mass starvation once again, the Genocide isn’t over
