Senate Democrats are imploring President Donald Trump's administration to step up its role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza.

Netanyahu on Sunday denied that Palestinians in Gaza face starvation and accused Hamas of stealing humanitarian aid, a claim that U.S. officials have since contradicted. “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza,” Netanyahu said.

As the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – President Donald Trump says he wants the fighting in Gaza and Ukraine to end. The president threatened tariffs against Russia if there’s no ceasefire in the next ten to 12 days and he says Israel’s president needs to let more food into Gaza as children and adults suffer from malnutrition.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday Israel would have to make a decision on next steps in Gaza, adding he did not know what would happen after the collapse of ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations with Hamas.
