Israeli News Anchor Lital Shemesh has questioned whether the “West has gone nuts” amid growing calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

“We haven’t got any sign of whom from the hostages are still alive,” Ms Shemesh told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“We haven’t been able to transfer any medicine, any medical aid to our hostages.

“And yet the US is pressuring Israel to enter aid, to enter hundreds of trucks a day with aid, with fuel, into the Gaza Strip.

“We know Hamas is taking over most of that aid … so I’m asking has the West gone nuts? This is not the way to negotiate.”
