Trump’s Gaza Aid Plan: Hold My Starving Children, Israel!

President Trump is stepping back into the Gaza humanitarian drama with a new aid plan expected Friday after envoy Steve Witkoff's fact-finding mission. Amid stomach-churning reports of starving children, Trump pledges more US aid but reminds others to "do their share." Sounds like a bidding war for morality points while simultaneously saying Israel "might need to escalate" the war to secure a hostage deal. Witkoff’s meeting with Netanyahu sparked talk of shifting from releasing 'some hostages' to 'all,' plus 'disarmament of Hamas.' Meanwhile, aid distrib centers require Palestinians to risk danger just for food—because nothing screams 'humanitarian' like a gauntlet run.
