U.S Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters in Jerusalem that "the accusations that Israel is starving people as a 'weapon of war' are bullshit, it's a blood libel.
The IDF and the Israeli government are making great efforts to take care of the Palestinians' basic needs." Graham, a Republican, called on Saudi Arabia and other countries to work to help the Palestinians, especially in dealing with incitement in the Palestinian education system.
"I will tell the Saudi crown prince at our upcoming meeting: almost 100 Knesset members opposed the initiative of a Palestinian state unilaterally, but said a dialogue on a Palestinian state will only be through negotiations."

The United States wants Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to publicly condemn militant settlers who have besieged Palestinians in their homes in the occupied West Bank, U.S. and Israeli officials said on Friday, as settlers pressured residents by pitching a new tent before Israeli soldiers arrived and it was taken down.
A Lebanese official denied on Thursday a Reuters report that Beirut had agreed with Israel to a shortlist of countries that could send troops to Lebanon to verify the disarmament of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, and said it was following up on the issue with Washington.
Israel won't withdraw from southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed, the defence minister said on Thursday, qualifying remarks he made a day earlier that had suggested Israeli forces would occupy the territory indefinitely and drew U.S. criticism.
