Trump Calls for ‘Every Ounce of Food’ to Enter Gaza Amid ‘Real Starvation’ Claims

Former President Donald Trump has acknowledged for the first time that there is “real starvation” in Gaza, urging Israel to permit “every ounce of food” into the besieged region. His remarks contradict Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s previous claims denying widespread hunger.

During a recent visit to Britain, Trump faced increasing pressure to address the humanitarian crisis, which humanitarian organizations and the UN attribute to Israel’s blockade of aid. Dozens of Palestinians have reportedly died of hunger in recent weeks.

In meetings with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump also expressed waning patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine. He vowed to impose sanctions on Russia’s trading partners within 10-12 days if a ceasefire is not reached, a significant acceleration of his previous 50-day deadline.

Trump praised Starmer but made a direct intervention in British domestic politics, urging the Prime Minister to cut taxes and tackle illegal immigration to secure the next election. Starmer, for his part, privately pressed Trump on the Gaza situation, with government sources confirming the UK public’s “revolt” over the “catastrophe” in the region.

The US president stated that Israel bears “a lot of responsibility” for the crisis, a direct rebuke to Netanyahu. He dismissed the idea of the US recognizing Palestine as a state but indicated he would not object if the UK or other allies chose to do so. Trump also mentioned plans for “walk-in” food centers in the region, though details remain scarce.

The visit saw protests outside Trump’s Aberdeenshire golf course, with demonstrators citing the Gaza crisis, immigration policies, and cuts to international aid as reasons for their opposition. Starmer is scheduled to convene an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and a peace plan being developed with France and Germany.
