President Trump said he pushed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week on the aid blockage to the Gaza Strip, telling him “We’ve got to be good to Gaza.”

“Those people are suffering,” Trump told reporters Friday on Air Force One as he revealed what he said to Netanyahu during a phone on Tuesday.

Trump, in his first public comments about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region, said there’s a “very big need” for food and medicine in the region. “We’re going to take care of that,” he added.

      Lol. I don’t agree with what this user said, but he should be allowed to say it.

      Tired of all this censorship of opposing views. Let me decide for myself what I get to see, damn it!

        He’s correct, in that it was policy according to Trump back in February. Gaza was prime real estate to be developed by the US after relocating the population.
