Wonder if anyone on the supposed 'left' in the liberal or so-called blue no matter who crowd would condemn this.
You know, someone who openly is bragging about committing further genocide and war crimes on behalf of the rich and powerful who control crapitalism.

“The ministry further affirmed that such [a] statement is considered a direct disregard for international legitimacy decisions and international consensus on protecting civilians and securing their basic humanitarian needs,” a ministry statement said on Thursday, according to Al Jazeera.
Israel’s finance minister has suggested that starving 2 million people in #Gaza “might be justified and moral.”
The world is rightly outraged – and should also be reminded this is the Israeli government’s current policy.

The controversy arose because of comments Smotrich, a far-right politician, made about humanitarian aid at a conference on Monday.
“We bring in aid because there is no choice,” he said. “We can’t, in the current global reality, manage a war. Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned.”
Critics argued that Smotrich’s remarks conveyed not only indifference to Palestinian suffering and death but also, more specifically, an attempt to justify Israel’s documented practice of blocking or disrupting aid from reaching the Gaza Strip.
Our Minister of Finance and Minister within the Ministry of Defense, Bezalel Smotrich, in his own words:
“Nobody will allow us to let 2 million civilians die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral until our hostages are returned.”

Human rights groups say that Israel has obstructed
aid during its 10-month siege of the enclave, which has killed many
tens of thousands of Palestinians and displaced the vast majority of the
population. Some groups have accused Israel of using starvation as a “weapon of war,” which is a war crime.

More outrage over outages!
How serious this is, only time will tell.
I wouldn't call them 'renowned' though.

Can anyone realisitically expect any subtle shifts in narratives from establishment media?
I remain skeptical, but we'll see -

With the deaths of over 40,000 Palestinians, including the industrial slaughter of children, induced famine and the destruction of the means of basic survival in Gaza, continuing to offer a representation of events that facilitates the colonial project may no longer be an option.
Any further editorial passivity and lack of moral voice risks a complete collapse. In order to avoid it, legacy media leaders will need to assert self-preservation by creating a degree of separation between their newsrooms and the delusions of Western elites that they’re tasked with serving. The ICJ ruling offers an opportunity.
