The Full Send Podcast, a YouTube channel hosted by the self-styled Canadian-American NELK Boys, released an episode on Monday in which they interviewed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu near the White House in Washington D.C.

Among the topics discussed was the mass starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, which Israel has been accused of perpetrating in its 21-month war on the enclave.

Netanyahu, who is subject to an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court, blamed Hamas for the starvation. He rather spoke about aid routes and logistics.

Critics say that the hosts should not have interviewed Netanyahu, seeing it as a publicity stunt by the Netanyahu to appeal to the podcast's audience, which comprise mostly of young Americans.
