Trump says that “many people are starving” in Gaza, like a number of the dead of Israel.

Abu Dhabi – President Trump said Friday that the United States would have the situation in Gaza “attended”, telling journalists that people were hungry in the besieged Palestinian territory, echoing a warning that help agencies have repeated for months.

“We are looking at Gaza. And let’s take care of that. Many people are starving,” the president told journalists.

The brief comments occurred when Trump concluded the final stage of a tour of several days through the Arab nations in the Middle East, including Qatar, which has been a key partner with the United States and Egypt when trying to negotiate a high fire in the high fire in the high War between Israel and Hamas.

Israel has imposed a blockade for more than two months to Gaza, leading the United Nations agencies and other humanitarian groups to warn that fuel supplies, food and medicines in the Palestinian territory that, before the war, was home to approximately 2.4 million people.

Israel has repeatedly denied that there is a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, and guilt to the suffering of the civilian population of the enclave completely to Hamas, which caused the war with its terrorist attack on October 7, 2023 unprecedented against Israel.

Mr. Trump’s comments occurred one day after the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, expressed his openness to any new idea to provide help to Gaza, after a plan backed by the United States and Israeli was widely criticized, while expressing concern about the humanitarian situation in the territory.

Incredible Israeli attacks kill dozens in Gaza

Gaza’s civil defense rescue agency said Friday that 50 people had been killed in Israeli strikes in the Palestinian territory from midnight.

“The number of martyrs killed in Israeli bombings aimed at civil houses in the Northern Gaza Strip between midnight and early this morning has increased to 50 … Our teams are still working in those areas,” Civil Defense official Mohammed al-Mughayyir told News.

“The Israeli occupation bombarded the house next to mine, hitting it directly while its residents were inside,” said Yousef al-40 years old, from the Al-Salatin area, west of Beit Lahia, he told News, informing “air attacks, artillery bombings and quadcopter drone shots.”

“There is a huge wave of displacement between civilians. Fear and panic grab us in the middle of the night,” he said.

The UN Children’s Fund, Catherine Russell, said Friday in a message posted on social networks that Israel’s operations had killed 45 children in just two days, which called “inconceivable.”

“This should surprise the world, but it is largely indifferently,” Russell wrote. “Nowhere is sure for children in Gaza. This horror must stop.”

She warned that more than 1 million children in Gaza were at risk of starvation, “deprived of food, water and medicine.”

There were no immediate comments on the latest attacks in Northern Gaza by Israel’s defense forces, but Israeli media said it was part of an intensified operation that would include new land raids in the area. The IDF have said since the beginning of the war that only addresses Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza, which accuses of hiding weapons and combatants in civil infrastructure.

Qatar families and hostages call Netanyahu to get a deal

Hamas and allied groups seized 251 people, many of them civilians, during the attack of October 7 and killed about 1,200, according to Israeli officials. The hostages were brought back to Gaza, and most have been released during two separate dismissals. Israeli officials believe that 58 remain in captivity within Gaza, of which 20 of which are still believed to be alive.

The families of the hostages have led the protests for months demanding that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu negotiate a high fire with Hamas to ensure the release of remaining captives, and expressed a new concern on Friday for intense military operations in Gaza, which according to them puts their loved ones at a growing risk.

With President Trump now to conclude a trip of three nations in the Middle East, which in particular did not include a stop in Israel, families have increased the pressure on Netanyahu to support the calls of the US leader for a negotiated resolution with Hamas.

“The families of the hostages woke up this morning with heavy hearts and a great concern in the light of the reports on the increase in attacks in Gaza and the imminent conclusion of President Trump’s visit to the region,” said the organization of the forum of families and families disappeared in a statement on Friday. “We are in Dramatic Hours That Will Determine The Future of Our Love, The Future of Israeli Society, and The Future of The Middle East. Missing This Historic Opportunity Would Be a Resounding Failure That Will Be Remembered In Infamy Forever. Netanyahu to Join Hands With President Trump’s Efforts, Which Will Lead First and Forty to the Release of 58 Hostages and to Regional Extensive Agreements.

The Netanyahu government has promised to continue the war in Gaza until all its objectives are met. He says that these objectives include the release of all the remaining hostages, the “Military and Governmental Defeat of Hamas” and ensure that Gaza “no longer represents a threat to Israel.”

There was a fleeting hope of a possible advance in long -term negotiations earlier this week when Hamas, in an agreement negotiated directly with the Trump administration, released the last living national of the United States that he had been among the hostages, Edan Alexander.

On Wednesday, when President Trump visited the country, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, lamented the growing assault of Israel in Gaza in the heels of Alexander’s liberation, saying in an interview with CNN that raised doubts about the perspectives of ongoing diplomatic efforts.

“Unfortunately, the Israeli reaction to this was a massive bombing the next day,” said Al-Thani, adding that, together with “the statements that leave the Israeli government” about not finishing the war “is basically sending the signal that we of us. [Israel] They are not interested in negotiations. “

The main diplomat of Qatar emphasized that the country’s negotiation team remained committed to all parties in the conflict, and “we hope to see some progress,” but warned: “I am not sure if this progress will be something seen very soon with this continuous behavior.”

“If there is no will to participate in significant negotiations, how can we get to the solution?” asked.

Until now, the Trump administration has not shown will to increase the pressure on Netanyahu by restricting its vital military aid for Israel.

The Ministry of Health, led by Hamas, in Gaza, said Thursday that the number of deaths in the Palestinian enclave since the war began had reached 53,010, including 2,876 people killed and almost 8,000 wounds since Israel resumed land operations on March 18, when the last renewed end.
