Waltz Says Gaza Famine Claims Are a Blood Libel

Ambassador Mike Waltz is pushing back hard on international claims of famine in Gaza, calling the narrative a "blood libel" against Israel. Waltz said too many in the global community have peddled the false famine claims, and argued that recent data debunks the accusation entirely. He pointed to reporting from the Free Press, which he said backs up his position that the famine narrative does not hold up to scrutiny. The ambassador's comments come amid ongoing international pressure on Israel over conditions in Gaza, with critics citing humanitarian concerns while allies like Waltz argue the crisis has been exaggerated or fabricated for political purposes. BreakFirst will continue following developments as more details from the Free Press report emerge.
