Rep. Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida, expressed support for the starvation of Palestinian civilians in Gaza while celebrating reports of children's deaths from famine. He labeled the Palestinian cause as 'evil' and received an appointment to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Although Fine claimed reports on starvation were false, humanitarian groups contradicted him, highlighting an increase in starvation-related deaths. His controversial remarks come amid ongoing violence in Gaza, emphasizing his alignment with hardline pro-Israel positions and his growing influence in Congress.
On social media Tuesday morning, Rep. Randy Fine (R-Florida) cheered a report saying that 15 Palestinians in Gaza, including four children, had died from famine in a single day.
Fine claimed that the report was a lie, without any evidence, as numerous outlets, humanitarian groups, and medical professionals in Gaza have raised the alarm over a spike in starvation deaths in the Strip this week.
Using starvation as a military tactic and targeting civilians are war crimes.
Fine touted the appointment as 'solidifying his rising influence on Capitol Hill.'
