What did President Trump say about Israel’s claims on Gaza starvation?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. President Trump broke with Israel today after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that people in Gaza are not starving. The President spoke to reporters as he met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland. NPR's Franco Ordonia's report, Trump said that he doesn't think Israel's claims are accurate.
When Trump was asked about Israel's claims that there was no starvation in Gaza, Trump didn't agree.
I don't know. I mean, based on television, I would say not particularly because those children look very hungry, but we're giving a lot of money and a lot of food.
Now he also didn't offer a lot of details, but said that the US and European partners would set up these food centers, which Trump said people would be able to walk to.
That's MPR's Franco Ordonia's reporting from Turnbury, Scotland.
