U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Israel should provide food for the residents of the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that his country does not want people to starve and that there are currently difficult conditions in the region. Trump clarified during his remarks in Pennsylvania on Sunday evening that the United States is working to provide food for Gaza's residents, noting that Washington is the only country funding this purpose.

In another context, The Atlantic magazine reported from U.S. officials that Trump believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to prolong the conflict in Gaza, asserting that the military objectives in the area have been achieved and that Netanyahu continues the war to maintain his power. The officials explained that the White House sees Netanyahu's actions as conflicting with the possibility of reaching a ceasefire, and that they do not expect Trump to hold Netanyahu accountable, pointing out that there are sometimes differences in positions among allies.

The officials added that Trump's patience is mainly running out with Hamas, not with Netanyahu, and that he wants to end the war, while being aware of the increasing anger from Israel's supporters within the United States. Trump had described the situation in Gaza as tragic, shameful, and catastrophic, confirming that he provided $60 million in humanitarian aid two weeks ago, and that he aims for the residents to receive food, despite not seeing tangible results from this aid so far.

Regarding the military escalation, occupation forces continue to bombard various areas of the Gaza Strip amid deteriorating humanitarian conditions, with recent airstrikes resulting in dozens of martyrs and injuries, including several humanitarian aid seekers. Medical sources reported that hospitals in the Strip recorded six new deaths in recent hours due to malnutrition and starvation, bringing the total number of victims to 175 martyrs, including 93 children, amid the ongoing systematic Israeli policies of starvation.
