Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rebuked former U.S. President Barack Obama after Obama said Israel had “took land off people” and “ceded moral ground” through its approach to Palestinians and the war in Gaza.
Speaking in Belfast while receiving an honorary doctorate from Queen’s University Belfast, Obama acknowledged the long history of persecution faced by Jewish people and their search for refuge. He argued, however, that Israel could not base its long-term security on superior military and technological power while “taking whatever we want” and refusing concessions. Netanyahu responded that Israel is the Jewish people’s homeland, according to The Times of Israel.
Obama said both Israelis and Palestinians would remain in the region and urged Israelis to find a way to defend themselves while acting ethically. He also said Palestinians would not “outkill” or “outweaponize” Israel and pointed to nonviolent strategies as an alternative.
His comments came amid continuing humanitarian hardship in Gaza. The UN World Food Programme said funding shortages had forced it to reduce monthly assistance from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million, cut rations in half and scale back cash assistance and hot meals. The agency said about 1.4 million people face crisis-level food insecurity and 200,000 face emergency conditions. Separately, Gaza health authorities said 75 Palestinians whose remains were recently recovered from destroyed buildings were buried in a mass funeral in Gaza City.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Attribute Netanyahu’s homeland statement only to The Times of Israel, which is the supplied source that supports it. - "Netanyahu responded that Israel is the Jewish people’s homeland, according to reports by The Times of Israel and the New York Post.": The supplied Times of Israel headline supports the homeland statement, but the supplied New York Post material only says Netanyahu fired back and does not support that specific statement.
