U.S. President Donald Trump commented on whether he supports Israel's ground invasion of Gaza, saying, "I hear they want to go into Gaza. I need to see the situation; I don't have a lot of information on this issue. However, I can say this: if Hamas creates a human shield for protection there, they will be in big trouble."

US President Trump answered questions from the press regarding current issues as he left the White House for his official visit to England.

Regarding what he thinks about Israel's ground invasion of Gaza and whether he supports it, Trump stated, "I hear they want to go into (Gaza). I need to see the situation; I don't have a lot of information on this matter. However, I can say this: if Hamas creates a human shield for protection there, they will be in trouble."

THE UN REPORT WAS ALSO ASKED

Evaluating the report by the United Nations (UN) investigation commission, which concluded that Israel committed genocide in Gaza, Trump refrained from commenting on the report, simply stating, "We will see what happens."

WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

The Israeli army had announced that it had begun ground attacks in the city of Gaza during the night for the invasion of the northern Gaza Strip. It was stated that currently, two brigades are participating in the ground attacks, and a third will join in the coming days. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also mentioned during a corruption trial hearing that they had launched severe attacks on the city of Gaza.
