Former US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by stating that Israel must decide its next steps in the ongoing Gaza conflict, as humanitarian conditions in the region worsen.
Trump repeatedly emphasized that the US has provided significant food aid to Gaza, claiming $60 million was sent, but lamented that neither Gazans nor the international community have thanked him. He also accused Hamas of stealing aid intended for starving civilians, echoing Israeli government claims. Despite the dire reports of starvation and the breakdown of ceasefire talks, Trump pledged more US aid but maintained that Israel should determine the future course of the war.
His remarks have drawn criticism from humanitarian groups and Hamas, who accuse him of misrepresenting the crisis and deflecting responsibility.
