U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Israel needs to make a decision regarding its actions in Gaza. Trump said, "You know, the other day they had a routine meeting (between Israel and Hamas), and suddenly they became tough. (Hamas) does not want to return (the hostages), and for this reason, Israel will have to make a decision. I know what I would do."

ASSISTANCE TO GAZA

In response to the question, "Should Israel do more to allow food into Gaza?" Trump did not answer directly, but noted that the US provided $60 million in food aid to Gaza two weeks ago, yet no one mentioned it or expressed gratitude.

"IT WOULD BE NICE TO AT LEAST RECEIVE A THANK YOU"

Trump stated, "At least you would want someone to thank you. No other country has given anything. We gave $60 million for food to Gaza." He argued that none of the European countries provided assistance, saying, "No one said 'thank you very much.' It would be nice to at least receive a thank you."

HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SAW IMAGES OF CHILDREN DYING OF HUNGER IN GAZA?

When asked how he felt upon seeing images of children dying of hunger in Gaza, Trump said, "It's a terrible thing. When I see the children, and especially the images I've seen in the last few weeks, people are stealing food, stealing money, stealing weapons. They are stealing everything. It's complete chaos. Everything is in terrible condition."

"ISRAEL WILL HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION"

US President Trump also referred to Israeli prisoners in Gaza, stating that Israeli families expect the return of the bodies of deceased prisoners, and he has met with some of these families to listen to them. Trump continued, "You know, the other day they had a routine meeting (between Israel and Hamas) and suddenly they became tough. (Hamas) does not want to return them (the prisoners), and therefore, Israel will have to make a decision. I know what I would do, but I think it's not appropriate to say that, however, Israel will have to make a decision."
