LONDON: Australia’s foreign minister has joined growing condemnation of an Israeli minister for claiming that starving millions of people in Gaza might be “justified and moral.” Penny Wong said the comments by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, if put into action, would amount to a war crime, The Guardian reported on Saturday. On Wednesday, Smotrich sparked outrage after saying: “No one in the world will allow us to starve two million people, even though it might be justified and moral in order to free the hostages.”
