Piers Morgan Confronts Ex-IDF Spox With Shocking List of 17 Gaza Food Line Killings: ‘Series of Appalling Things Happening’

Piers Morgan accused the Israeli military of failing to “take any accountability” for what he described as a “pattern” of deadly incidents involving Gazans lining up for food, listing out 17 separate incidents covering the period from May 28 to June 24, 2025.

Speaking to a panel of guests on Wednesday night’s Piers Morgan Uncensored, the host noted that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) repeatedly distances itself and criticized the military’s ongoing block of independent news outlets from inside the strip. The lists, he said, citing information from both the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry and the United Nations, showed an “incredibly large number of civilians getting killed in these lines.”

Food is being delivered by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) — a U.S. and Israeli-backed operation run by a private contractor and rolled out to replace the longstanding UN-led aid system.

“Put it all together,” Morgan said, “and there has been a series of appalling things happening while we’ve had our focus taken to what’s going on with Iran. And I’m just not buying this argument from Israeli ministers that somehow none of this has anything to do with the IDF.”

The killings – 352 by Morgan’s tally, with the UN reporting at least 410 – span almost a month, as he noted that Israeli military statements typically fall into two categories: denial of direct engagement, or vague commitments to investigate.

Pausing debate on his show, Morgan took almost three minutes of air time to steadily read through the list of incidents and the IDF’s statements:

So 28th of May one was killed, 48 wounded. This is according to the Hamas run Palestinian Health Ministry. The UN said that most of injuries were down to Israeli forces. The IDF said it fired warning shots, but not towards people.

1st of June, 31 killed, 200 injured. Again, the Health Ministry figures. Doctors said around 200 people arrived at a hospital with gunshot and shrapnel wounds. The IDF called the reports false.

3rd of June 27 killed, 37 wounded. Hospital director says 37 people arrived at a local hospital with a gunshot wound. IDF said troops fired at suspects, quotes, deviating from designated access routes.

7th of June, six killed, several wounded. The civil defense agency said that it was six Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire near an aid center. Israeli military says it fired warning shots at suspects who approached them in a threatening manner.

8th of June, four killed. Again, the IDF says it fired warning shots at a group it deemed to be a threat.

9th of June, six killed, 99 injured. IDF said it was looking into the reports.

11th of June, 57 killed, 200 plus injured. The IDF says it’s looking into these reports.

14th of June, 15 killed. IDF say they fired warning shots at a group they believe posed a potential threat.

15th of June, 26 killed, 117 injured. IDF saying it wasn’t aware of gunshots at one site and is looking into events at another.

16th of June, 30 plus killed. IDF said troops fired warning shots at suspects approaching them and posing a threat.

17th June, 51 killed. The IDF is looking into the reports.

18th June. 11 killed. IDF says troops fired warning shots after a group approached them in a way that posed a potential threat.

The 19th June at least 12 killed, 60 injured. IDF say suspects had attempted to approach forces and soldiers had fired warning shots.

20th of June, 23 killed, 100 injured. IDF said troops fired warning shots after people gathered nearby. An Israeli aircraft then struck several suspects who continued walking towards troops.

21st of June, eight killed. IDF studies looking into the incidents.

24th of June at least 44 killed, dozens injured. IDF says it will review details of the reports.

Morgan then turned to his guest, former IDF spokesman Major Doron Spielman, and said the reason he had read the list was because it showed “a pattern” where “an incredibly large number of civilians are getting killed in these lines of people queuing up for food.”

“And in every case, the IDF either says they fired warning shots, but don’t take any accountability for hitting anybody or killing or wounding anybody, or they say we’re looking into the reports and then strangely we never get any further information,” he continued.

Morgan further complained that the IDF “won’t allow international journalists into Gaza at all unless it’s in tightly controlled, very brief periods under their very tight control.”

“You put it all together,” he said, “and I’m just not buying this argument from Israeli ministers that somehow none of this has anything to do with the IDF.”

Spielman responded: “Piers, I think once again we’re going back to the situation in Gaza, which we know there’s one problem in Gaza and that problem would solve all of this, beyond all the numbers. The problem is very simply what started this entire mess, which is Hamas. We know that Hamas, as we’ve discussed numerous times, is hiding behind these civilians.”
