Governor Josh Shapiro on Tuesday called the United States to “radical increase” of help for Gaza when he joins the national conversation about the in -depth humanitarian crisis, when the number of mortal victims of Palestinians waiting for food and other help increases.
“I think that it can be said that I both pray for the return of hostages and pray that these children are fed in gas,” said Shapiro. “The fact that children starve in gas is not right.”
He said that the United States “is moral responsibility for flooding the zone with help and making sure that children who must be fed, get food and food as well as medicines that must be able to survive” through a unthreatening distribution plan.
Shapiro was open to his support for the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, as well as his opposition to the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu and his right -wing coalition government. Shapiro has among other criticisms called Netanyahu “unsuccessful leader” who took Israel in a “very dangerous direction”, covering the right -wing policy before the attack of October 7.
Governor of Pennsylvania and the potential candidate for the president of the Democratic Party in 2028 repeatedly repeated that he believed in a two -state solution that allows Palestinians and Israeli to live in peace, although he faced progressive symptoms for university edema.
The governor spoke for a long time when when asked about Inquirer about gauze after an unrelated press conference on Tuesday. His attention to the support of help for gauze are in line with the shift of public discourse, which has become more sympathetic to Palestinians.
United Nations Organization Reported On July 29, that there is “growing evidence that” common hunger, malnutrition and illness “increases the number of hunger deaths” in gas.
“I think that everyone has moral responsibility for inventing how to feed these children,” said Shapiro on Tuesday.
Selected officials who have long supported Israel in the war with Hamas adopted a sharper tone towards the country in recent weeks, including President Donald Trump, who recently confirmed hunger in gas and called Netanyahu to provide people in gas Get food.

On Tuesday, Shapiro called Hamas for the first time to immediately return almost 50 hostages still in captivity before he quickly turned his comments for children in gas.
The governor said: “It is true that Hamas intercepts help” and that the help network “is not as sophisticated as it should.” Recent reports refer to Israeli officials Let’s say that there is no evidence that Hamas has routinely stolen UN help, but the evidence indicates that a group of fighters stolen help with smaller organizations.
Shapiro condemned Netanyahu’s last claim That there is no hunger in gas as “just bad”. The governor also repeated his earlier criticism of Trump’s idea to lead Palestinians to create “Riviera” in Gaza that the president suggested at the beginning of this year.
“It’s terrible what is happening in gas and we are all obliged to be there for these children,” he said.
“Rhetoric from the Prime Minister Netanyahu creates only less stability and security of Israel, who is a critical ally of the United States, whose democracy is important to be present and flourished in the Middle East,” he added. “I think we are interested in national security in this.”
Shapiro, one of the most outstanding Jewish politicians in the country and the third Jewish governor in the history of the community of nations, accepted his faith as a way to contact others.
His support for Israel was examined when he was considered a former vice president Kamala Harris from 2024, which brought allegations of anti -Semitism, because his views largely adapted to Harris and other pretenders to this place.
