Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under fire for joking about his favorite fast food during an appearance on the Full Send Podcast by the Nelk Boys, at a time when Gaza faces a worsening hunger crisis.
As Netanyahu casually mentioned McDonald’s and Burger King, Gaza reels under acute famine, with over 80 children confirmed dead from starvation and tens of thousands suffering malnutrition. Humanitarian groups and global audiences slammed the remarks as insensitive and grossly ill-timed, especially when Israel’s blockade continues to choke aid routes.
Critics say the episode reflects a growing disconnect between Israeli leadership and the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, adding fuel to international condemnation. The podcast, aimed at a young Western audience, has already lost thousands of subscribers since airing the episode.
