Israeli podcasters Eytan Weinstein and Naor Meninger, who run a YouTube page named Two Nice Jewish Boys, openly called to commit genocide in Gaza.

"If you gave me a button just to erase Gaza every single living being in Gaza would no longer be living tomorrow I would press it in a second," Weinstein said with a laugh on his face.

"You press this and all Palestinians are gone," he added.

During the podcast, the co-host also justified the killing of innocent children by Israeli forces in Gaza.

"How could they talk about killing children we are not advocating about targeting children but forgive us if we don't give a sh*t if everybody there dies," Weinstein said.

“Forgive us if we don’t care if children get killed, that’s just how it is. People [Israelis] enjoy knowing they [Gazans] are suffering.”

The podcasters' remarks have sparked outrage among the public worldwide, with many denouncing the insensitive and harmful nature of their statements.

Israel's military offensives in Gaza have resulted in devastating losses, with over 40,000 Palestinians killed, including 16,456 children and 11,000 women.

The United Nations (UN) reported that two-thirds of buildings across the Gaza Strip have been "damaged or destroyed." Israeli attacks have also killed at least 270 aid workers.

The restrictions on food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies have exacerbated the crisis.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) directed Israel to ensure basic services and humanitarian aid delivery in the besieged enclave.

The Palestinian government's information office reported that almost 1.7 million Gazans have been displaced due to relentless air and artillery strikes by the Israeli military.

Thousands of children in Gaza have been diagnosed with malnutrition, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). 

“A significant proportion of Gaza’s population is now facing catastrophic hunger and famine-like conditions,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom said on June 12 while talking to reporters.

Earlier, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) head Cindy McCain said people in Gaza are starving to death.

"The speed at which this man-made hunger and malnutrition crisis has ripped through Gaza is terrifying,” he added.

“To have 50 percent of an entire population in catastrophic, near-famine levels, is unprecedented,” Beth Bechdol, the deputy director general of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), said.

The WFP estimated that around 1.1 million people are "struggling with catastrophic hunger and starvation" due to Israel's severe restrictions on food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies to the besieged enclave.
