United States President Donald Trump contradicted his ally, Israeli award, Benjamin Netanyahu, and said on Monday that there is a hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip.
“It’s really hunger,” Trump told a four -day visit to Scotland, according to CNN reports. “I see, and you can’t pretend. So let’s get even more involved.”
Trump mainly blamed the terrorist group Hamas for the delay in distributing humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, but also said that Israel “has a lot of responsibility” for the crisis in the Palestinian enclave.
“We will create food distribution centers, and we will do it together with very good people, and we will provide resources, and we have just raised trillions of dollars, we got a lot of money and we will spend a little on food, and other nations are joining us,” Trump said on Monday. “So let’s create food distribution centers where people can enter, without barriers, without fences.”
Over the weekend, in a video posted on X, Netanyahu denied that a hunger crisis is occurring at the enclave, which, according to authorities from the Ministry of Health of Gaza (linked to Hamas), would have caused several deaths in recent days.
“There is no hunger in Gaza, no hunger policy in Gaza,” said Netanyahu. The governments of Israel and the US blame Hamas for delay and deviations in the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
However, on Friday (25), the US press reported that a report from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) found no evidence of Hamas Humanitarian aids mass theft by Hamas.
