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."
