The Israeli government has put out a statement giving well wishes to everyone taking part in Ramadan this year, saying that they are only blocking food from entering the Gaza out of respect for the tradition.

“People claim we have no respect for the lives of those we want to wipe out,” said Netanyahu, “but we understand that Ramadan has started and we are doing everything in our power to stop those observing the tradition in Palestine from breaking it by making it that there is no food for them to eat. We are really heroic in that way.”

“It’s also why we have been doing it for months, just to really make sure that no extra food slips in there. Big thanks to America, Australia and the UK for helping with this noble cause of keeping food out of the mouths of needy children.”

The Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has released a statement saying she is ‘deeply concerned’ by ‘Australia’s friend’ before announcing her full support of the IDF by declaring that Australia wont reinstate UNRWA funding to provide aid to the region until Israel declares it’s a respectful time to let refugee children eat again.
