Ten Nobel Prize winners are part of a list of 23 of the most considered economists in the United States and Europe who wrote a letter to the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asking him to cancel his plans to occupy militarily from Gaza City and to extract him to allow food aid without restriction at the enclave.
The first signatory of the letter is the winner of the Nobel, the MIT economist and the co-author of the international bestseller Why the nations fail, Daron Acemoglu. He shared the letter on X Friday.
“We write with an urgent concern about the famine of propagation in Gaza and the Israeli government plan to concentrate civilians in a” humanitarian city “,” said the letter.
“As human beings and economists and scientists, we call an immediate judgment to any policy that intensifies generalized famine”.
The second paragraph denounces the attacks led by Hamas of October 7, 2023 against southern Israel, but adds: “This does not absorb the Israeli government, which controls the flow and distribution of aid, responsibility”.
