- Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro claimed, “Hamas is stealing the aid.”He also attacked the United Nations, saying, “The UN literally refuses to ship food in if they are escorted by the IDF, because the U.N. wants to fund Hamas.” The Daily Wire, *The Ben Shapiro Show*, [7/28/25]
- National Review’s Rich Lowry wrote an article titled “Hamas Is to Blame for Gaza’s Woes,” which claimed that Hamas “considers the agony of Gazans a useful weapon in the narrative war. From this perverted point of view, a famine would be welcome news.”The piece concluded, “Hamas would rather see the population starve than give up on the war, or its grip on power.” National Review, [7/29/25]
- After playing a clip of Trump saying the U.S. will get food into Gaza, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner said, “Now if they could just stop the bloodthirsty savages of Hamas from shooting at their own people and taking supplies away from them, that would be a miracle.”Fox News, *The Faulkner Focus*, [7/28/25]
- Fox & Friendsco-host Brian Kilmeade claimed that “the problem is it’s Hamas. Hamas started it. They don’t care about their people. … They want to blame Israel for it.”Co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones agreed, with Earhardt saying, “They steal the aid that Israel sends in, that America sends in.” Fox News,*Fox & Friends*, [7/29/25]
- Fox News senior strategic analyst Jack Keane claimed it is “Hamas that has stopped the aid from coming in by not making this deal.” Keane: “Are there some humanitarian starvation and serious gravity taking place among the people in Gaza? You betcha there are. But it's Hamas that has stopped the aid from coming in by not making this deal.” Fox Business,*Mornings with Maria*, [7/29/25]
- Newsweek’s Josh Hammer alleged that “anti-Israel forces have a new op: Israel-induced famine in Gaza. More lying. Hamas and the UN are obstructing aid from entering.”Twitter/X, [7/28/25]
- Stephen L. Miller claimed, “The famine in Gaza is because of Hamas.”Twitter/X, [7/23/25]
- OnOutnumbered, Fox host Mark Levin claimed, “Hamas is killing and starving its own people.” He added, “The U.N. is actually helping Hamas. The only people feeding the Palestinians there — the United States and the Israelis.” Fox News, *Outnumbered*, [7/28/25]
- Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen agreed with Netanyahu’s claim that there is “no policy of starvation in Gaza” and claimed the reason for famine in the region is “Hamas, not Netanyahu.” Thiessen: “What is important to remember here is the reason why there is starvation in Gaza — Netanyahu is right. There is no policy of starvation in Gaza. The reason is that Hamas has been defeated but they refuse to surrender. They have no chance of prevailing and in any normal situation like this, where they had suffered such military setbacks, the other side would surrender and end the fighting and allow humanitarian assistance to come in. And Hamas is refusing to do that. And that's the source of the problem in Gaza. It's Hamas, not Netanyahu.” Fox News, *Special Report*, [7/28/25]
- Townhall Editor Katie Pavlich posted: “Gaza is the only place where the UN and Hamas are purposely starving the population as a PR strategy against Israel.”Twitter/X, [7/26/25]
- Right-wing podcaster Ben Ferguson claimed starvation in Gaza was caused by “adults who decided to put killing Israelis ahead of making sure their own kids are safe.”Ferguson added, “This is not Israel's fault. This is Hamas' fault; this is terrorists’ fault. They are the ones starving these kids. So I’m sick of people saying somehow this is Israel's fault. They attacked Israel. Period.” Fox News, *The Faulkner Focus*, [7/28/25]
- Fox News contributor Guy Benson said Trump is “right” for saying the “fastest way to end the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza is for Hamas to SURRENDER AND RELEASE THE HOSTAGES!!!” Benson added, “He’s right & every good person who cares (or purports to care) about the suffering in Gaza should say this loudly and with one voice, every day. That so many do not is a grotesque tell.” Twitter/X, [7/31/25]
- Right-wing radio host Larry Elder claimed, “The food is being stolen by Hamas.”He also claimed that the New York Times article that featured the 18-month old toddler “was a complete and total lie, and so many members of the media … ran with it because it advanced the narrative: Gaza is suffering from mass starvation because of the dastardly Israelis.” The Salem Radio Network, *The Larry Elder Show*, [7/31/25]
- Fox News host Lawrence Jones said there’s “propaganda” regarding “the Gaza story,” that “people just believe everything that is put out there, the images,” and that Hamas is “taking some of the aid away.” Jones: “As it relates to the war propaganda, Israel is losing it, when it comes to the Gaza story right here. People just believe everything that is put out there, the images. They may put an editor's note on there [in the Times story], but the damage has already been done. I even talked with some of my friends — they don't know the full story about what Hamas is doing, taking some of the aid away.” Fox News, *Fox & Friends*, [7/30/25]
