Trump Said ‘We Have to Get the Kids Fed' in Gaza
President Trump said today that the U.S. would do more to help the starving population in Gaza. After a meeting in Scotland with Britain's prime minister, the president criticized the aid distribution effort his administration has backed in Gaza and said he wanted to create more easily accessible food sites. 'That's real starvation,' Trump said. 'I see it, and you can't fake that.' He added that he will tell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to ensure that food gets to people who need it. 'I want to make sure they get the food, every ounce of food,' he said. It was a notable turn for Trump, who has appeared wary of using American power to secure aid for the enclave.

But after a series of meetings with European leaders, Trump began to echo their more desperate language. Several foreign leaders have ramped up the pressure on Israel to allow more aid into Gaza as international agencies and doctors warn that starvation is sweeping across the enclave. In Israel, a small but increasingly vocal minority has made anguished calls to end the war on moral grounds. Today, two of the best-known Israeli human rights groups accused the government of genocide.
