Ambassador of Israel in Portugal claims Gaza massacre allegations are baseless propaganda orchestrated by Hamas group
In a recent statement, Oren Rozenblat, the Israeli Ambassador to Portugal, has argued that reports of hunger in the Gaza Strip are merely Hamas propaganda. However, this claim lacks supporting evidence and is contested by numerous humanitarian sources.
Rozenblat's assertion contradicts reports emphasizing the serious risk of starvation and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Multiple sources highlight the urgent need for global humanitarian action to address mass starvation in the region.
The ambassador's comments come amidst ongoing criticism from Israel regarding the decision of the Portuguese government to recognize Palestine as a state. In September, the Luis Montenegro government announced that it would initiate the process to recognize Palestine as a state, a move that Oren Rozenblat believes will be a "reward" for terrorists.
Despite these tensions, Rozenblat assures that Israel is closely monitoring the humanitarian situation in Gaza. He also guarantees that Israel wants to leave Gaza, but only when all the refugees are freed and Hamas disarms.
The ambassador's stance on the conflict in Gaza is that it is not a tool used by Israeli leaders to maintain power. He also asserts that images of children starving in Gaza are part of a Hamas propaganda campaign.
Before October 7, Palestinians had freedom to do whatever they wanted in Gaza. However, the situation in the region has since become increasingly volatile, with Oren Rozenblat stating that the war situation is serious. He believes that Palestinians had the opportunity to make the Singapore of the Middle East, but they chose to do terrorism instead.
Rozenblat also states that it is "very dangerous" for journalists to enter the Gaza Strip. Despite these challenges, he claims that Israel is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all civilians in the region.
In summary, while the Israeli Ambassador to Portugal, Oren Rozenblat, contests the claims of hunger in Gaza as Hamas propaganda, the available evidence does not support this assertion. Instead, reports emphasize the genuine humanitarian needs in the region. The ongoing conflict and blockade have led to a serious risk of starvation and a humanitarian crisis, calling for urgent global humanitarian action.
