The US president publicly acknowledged ‘real starvation’ last month.
A global hunger monitor, backed by the United Nations, has declared famine in Gaza City and the surrounding areas.
The confirmation that Israel has engineered a man-made catastrophe prompted outrage from many nations, with a notable exception.
Neither the White House nor the US State Department has uttered a word in response.
While Israel says it’s “an outright lie”, how much longer can the US remain silent?
Is that silence an implicit go-ahead for the Israeli military’s large-scale assault on Gaza City and the drip-feeding of aid?
