Senate Republicans Agree That Gaza Starvation Is Real

July 29, 2025 Politics, Republicans

NOTUS reports:

After President Donald Trump said on Monday that children are starving in Gaza, Republican senators started to show some daylight between themselves and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, siding with Trump and acknowledging the starvation. Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of Israel’s closest allies in Congress, blamed Hamas for “it being the way it is,” but acknowledged there was a problem.

Sen. John Cornyn told NOTUS that “obviously the humanitarian crisis is real.” Cornyn also blamed Hamas — “I think a lot of the deliveries have been because of Hamas and stealing the aid” — but he said he was “with the president.” Sen. Mike Rounds told NOTUS he agrees with Trump that there is starvation in Gaza. A change to how food is distributed is part of the solution, he said, but he also said Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as “human shields.”
