During the call, which a former U.S. official reportedly described as 'a direct, mostly one-way conversation about the status of humanitarian aid,' Netanyahu told Trump that reports of famine in Gaza were false. Netanyahu's office described the report as 'complete fake news'
U.S. President Donald Trump yelled at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call after the latter said Hamas had fabricated reports of hunger in Gaza, NBC News reported Friday.
According to the report, Netanyahu demanded a phone call with Trump after the U.S. president rebutted his statements, saying that children in Gaza "look very hungry" during his Scotland visit, adding that "you can't fake that."
"We're giving a lot of money and a lot of food, and other nations are now stepping up," Trump said while visiting Scotland last week.
He added that his administration will set up "food centers" with no fences or boundaries to ease access. "It's a mess. They have to get food and safety right now," the president said.
