Trump tells Netanyahu 'we've got to be good to Gaza' and allow more aid

President Trump said he pushed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week on the aid blockage to the Gaza Strip, telling him “We’ve got to be good to Gaza.”

“Those people are suffering,” Trump told reporters Friday on Air Force One  as he revealed what he said to Netanyahu during a phone on Tuesday.

Trump, in his first public comments about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region, said there’s a “very big need” for food and medicine in the region.

“We’re going to take care of that,” he added.

When asked how Netanyahu responded, Trump said the prime minister “felt well about it.”

The Palestinian enclave hasn’t received aid since March 2 as Israel has previously said it wouldn’t allow goods into Gaza until Hamas terrorists release remaining hostages.

The United Nations’ World Food Programme, a main provider of food to Gaza, said it “delivered its last remaining food stocks to hot meals kitchens” on the strip on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces warned Saturday it’s was preparing to expand its offensive against Hamas in Gaza if hostage negotiations continue to stall.

The military plans to call up a large number of reservists and secure new sections in Gaza, according to the IDF. As long as the hostage talks drag on, Israel’s offensive against Hamas will only grow, the military said.
