The Trump Administration’s Famine Denial

Source: Eunomia
by Daniel Larison

“The Trump administration has made famine denialism the official policy of the United States: ‘The US rejected a United Nations-backed report that declared a famine in Gaza, breaking with other members of the UN Security Council as it denied that Israel was engaged in a ‘policy of starvation’ in the enclave as part of the war with Hamas.’ The U.S. position is unsurprising, but it is despicable. Denying the famine in Gaza is another black mark on our country’s reputation.” (08/28/25)
