The former Boomtown Rats frontman told Sky News that Israel bears responsibility for mass starvation in the enclave, after Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer claimed there was “no famine caused by Israel” and “Hamas starves its own people.”
In an interview with Sky earlier this week, Mencer said: “This suffering exists because Hamas made it so. Here are the facts. Aid is flowing through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Millions of meals are being delivered directly to civilians.”
But Geldof told the “Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips” show: “(Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu lies, is a liar. The IDF are lying. They’re dangling food in front of starving, panicked, exhausted mothers.
