Israel, U.S. Slam UK Foreign Secretary over Gaza Medicine Claims
(Jerusalem Post) Idan Kweller - Britain's Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said Saturday, "I just came out of this meeting talking about Gaza to people who've been there and are there on the ground. And frankly, it was horrific what is unfolding. You know, the stories that people were telling me of medicines being blocked, children dying while waiting for vital life-saving treatment." Israel's Foreign Ministry responded, "The British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband posts a video recounting 'stories' he was told about Gaza. If the Foreign Secretary were interested in facts rather than stories, he would know that there are no restrictions whatsoever on the entry of medicines into Gaza, and that no medicines are being blocked; that 22,500 tons of medical supplies have entered Gaza since the ceasefire began; and that Gazans exit the Strip for medical treatment, including 200 who did so in just the last two weeks." U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee wrote: "The Brits have lost it. The Jew-hate of their government knows no boundaries and knows no facts."
