Trump says Israel will ‘preside over’ US aid distribution in Gaza


United States President Donald Trump has suggested that Israel will run food distribution centres in Gaza, a move that critics say would further entrench the Israeli occupation and endanger the safety of aid seekers. Trump’s comments suggest that the US is not ready to support the resumption of aid distribution in Gaza through the UN and its partners on the ground. “If you do that, you really are rewarding Hamas, and I’m not about to do that,” he told a reporter who asked about the possibility of the US pushing Israel towards a long-term solution to end the conflict.
