Israel, Huckabee slam UK foreign secretary over Gaza medicine claims
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee criticized British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband over claims that Israel prevents medicines from reaching Gaza, accusing the British government of ignoring facts.
Ed Miliband described the healthcare situation in Gaza as 'horrific' and claimed medicines are being blocked, causing children to die while waiting for treatment.
Israel's Foreign Ministry rejected Miliband's claims, stating no restrictions exist on medical supplies entering Gaza and noting Palestinians have access to medical treatment outside Gaza.
British Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis criticized Miliband's planned sanctions on Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, warning that such measures could harm peace and British Jews.
