Trump tells Israel to ‘be good to Gaza’
Former President Donald Trump recently expressed concern over the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, stating the need for increased aid to the region amidst ongoing conflicts with Hamas. During a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump emphasized that “we’ve got to be good to Gaza,” recognizing the suffering of the people there. He mentioned that there is a critical need for food and medicine, and assured efforts were being made to address this need.
Despite Trump’s calls for aid, the situation remains complex, as Israel has not permitted supplies into Gaza as March, citing conditions tied to the release of hostages held by Hamas. The ongoing conflict,which escalated significantly following attacks on October 7,2023,has posed challenges to humanitarian assistance efforts. As these discussions unfold, the Trump management has remained focused on broader geopolitical issues, including the conflict in Ukraine.

President Donald Trump said he stressed to Israel that humanitarian supplies need to get into the embattled Gaza Strip amid its war against Hamas.
“We’ve got to be good to Gaza,” Trump said he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Those people are suffering. We’ve got to be good to Gaza.”
“We’re going to take care of that,” Trump continued Friday. “There’s a very big need for medicine, food, and medicine, and we’re taking care of it.”
Trump and Netanyahu spoke over the phone earlier this week, and Trump was asked by reporters aboard Air Force One if they discussed aid reaching Gaza. The president said they did, and Netanyahu “felt well about it.”
No aid has reached the enclave since March 2. Israel has insisted it will not allow supplies inside unless Hamas releases its remaining hostages.
