Caption: Trump Says Israel Must Decide on Gaza’s Next Steps, Pledges More Aid Amid Humanitarian Crisis. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Israel must decide its next steps in Gaza, following the collapse of ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations with Hamas. Trump emphasized the need for securing the release of hostages, stating Hamas has "hardened" its stance on the issue. Trump added that more humanitarian aid would be provided to Gaza, following Israel’s military assault, but said other nations should contribute too. Democratic U.S. senators have called on the Trump administration to cease funding the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and restore support for the UN’s aid distribution. Over 1,000 deaths have been reported at GHF distribution sites, most occurring near militarized aid zones, with malnutrition claims mounting in Gaza. Former President Barack Obama urged that aid be allowed to reach Gaza, condemning the withholding of food and water from civilian families. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed alternative options after abandoning ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, claiming Hamas was unwilling to compromise. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of acknowledgment for U.S. food aid, claiming that no other country contributed to the efforts. The ongoing conflict has caused severe humanitarian consequences in Gaza, including widespread starvation and displacement, with accusations of war crimes and genocide against Israel.
