The Trump administration decided to take over management of the humanitarian effort in Gaza, as Israel is not adequately handling the situation. Gulf countries like Qatar will contribute funds, with involvement expected from Jordan and Egypt. Trump is concerned about the worsening starvation problem in Gaza, particularly for children and mothers. The U.S. aims to avoid being the sole provider of aid, seeking cooperation from European and Arab nations. Israel supports an increased U.S. role to boost aid efforts significantly.
The starvation problem in Gaza is getting worse. Donald Trump does not like that. He does not want babies to starve. He wants mothers to be able to nurse their children. He's becoming fixated on that.
The president doesn't want to see the U.S. being the only country throwing money at this problem. It's a global problem. And he's been tasking Witkoff and others to make sure everyone is stepping up, our European friends and our Arab friends.
They are going to spend a lot of money in order to help us significantly improving the humanitarian situation so that it will be less of an issue.
Trump is 'not thrilled' about the idea of the U.S. taking charge, 'but it kind of has to happen.'
