In Break With Israel, Trump Says Children in Gaza ‘Look Very Hungry’

Reporter: “Mr. President, Prime Minister Netanyahu said there’s no starvation in Gaza. Do you agree with that assessment?” “I don’t know. I mean, based on television, I would say not particularly because those children look very hungry. But we’re giving a lot of money and a lot of food, and other nations are now stepping up. I know that this nation is, right here.” “It’s a humanitarian crisis. It’s an absolute catastrophe. And nobody wants to see that, and I think people in Britain are revolted at seeing what they’re seeing on their screens. So we’ve got to get to that cease-fire.” “It’s a terrible situation. The whole thing is terrible. It’s been bad for many years. But it’s great to hear you feel the same way that I do. We have to help on a humanitarian basis before we do anything We have to get the kids fed.” “We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever. You have bodies lying all over the street. And I say, that’s not the way to do it.”
