US President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that 'we've got to be good to Gaza' and urged him to increase aid to the Strip. Trump expressed concern for the suffering of the people in Gaza and emphasized the need for food and medicine. This is the first time Trump publicly addressed the issue of humanitarian aid for Gaza, which has been a point of contention between Netanyahu and the Biden administration. The World Food Programme recently announced that it had run out of food stocks in Gaza due to the prolonged closure of crossings into the enclave. Germany, France, and Britain have called for an end to the blockade, warning of the risk of starvation and disease.
