Fox Host Jesse Watters Faces Outrage Over Remarks on Palestinian Birth Rates

Watters described Palestinians as a demographic and national security 'threat,' drawing condemnation for comments deemed racist and genocidal.

Jesse Watters, a Fox News host, claimed on 'The Five' that Palestinians' 'explosive' birth rates pose a demographic and security threat to Israel.
Watters described Palestinians as 'hostile' and 'uneducated,' asserting that coexistence with Israelis is not feasible.
His remarks inaccurately cited Palestinian fertility rates, which are lower than the figures he presented, according to verified data.
Critics, including journalists and activists, condemned Watters' comments as racist, genocidal, and aligned with white supremacist ideologies.
The backlash comes as tensions in Gaza remain high, with President Trump issuing an ultimatum to Hamas for the release of Israeli hostages.
