US President Donald Trump addresses the issue of starvation in Gaza, questioning whether the US will hold Israel accountable for its actions amidst claims that a US-Israeli plan is facilitating ethnic cleansing. Matt Duss of the Center for International Policy argues that this situation reflects a troubling use of starvation as a weapon of war. He suggests that the Democratic Party risks ceding the antiwar and pro-diplomacy space to Trump, who has shifted US foreign policy in the Middle East regarding Yemen, Iran, and Syria.
