Trump says kids in Gaza are starving in break with Netanyahu

President Trump stated his disagreement with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's assertion that there is no starvation in Gaza. Trump based this on his observation of hungry children depicted on television. He believes there is indeed real starvation that cannot be faked. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is severe, coinciding with a breakdown in ceasefire talks. Trump and his administration privately and publicly acknowledge their Gaza strategy is failing but haven't decided on changes. He suggested Netanyahu might need to approach the situation differently since Hamas is not releasing hostages. Trump indicated a ceasefire is possible but requires an end to the conflict. He previously suggested Israel might need to fight harder to eliminate Hamas, contrasting with Western leaders calling for an end to the war. However, he also described the Gaza situation as a mess and emphasized the immediate need for food and safety for civilians. The Israeli Defense Forces initiated daily humanitarian pauses and conducted air drops of food, actions mirrored by the UAE and Jordan. Despite these humanitarian efforts, Netanyahu reiterated his claim of no starvation in Gaza, while the UN reports increasing starvation-related deaths. Senior Israeli aides are scheduled to meet with White House officials to discuss Iran and Gaza amidst ongoing negotiations and coordinated efforts on Iran policy. Trump also expressed concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions, stating they cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons and have been severely impacted militarily.
