The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing discusses recent developments in the Middle East, focusing on the United States' response to Israel's actions in Gaza. US President Donald Trump has refrained from pressuring Israel regarding a potential occupation of Gaza, instead emphasizing humanitarian aid and expanding the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The foundation, which relies heavily on US funding, faces financial challenges, and Israel's finance minister has reversed his stance on providing aid to Gaza.

The episode also explores the strained relationship between the United States and the Palestinian Authority, highlighting issues of financial support and governance. The United States has increased pressure on the Palestinian Authority by denying visas to its officials, while the authority's legitimacy is threatened by ongoing financial instability. Meanwhile, most aid trucks are reportedly looted before reaching their destinations in Gaza, and Israel plans to gradually allow more goods into Gaza's private sector.
