Trump says US not getting enough credit for aid to Gaza
As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues, Trump was asked if Israel should be doing more to allow food into Gaza, but Trump shifted the focus to how much money the U.S. has provided for Gaza and how it has not been acknowledged by others.
“Well you know we gave $60 million two weeks ago and nobody even acknowledged it for food and it's terrible. You know, you really at least want to have somebody say thank you,” Trump said. “Nobody talks about it. And it makes you feel a little bad when you do that. And you know, you have other countries not giving anything.”
Trump spent a considerable amount of time discussing how the US was not thanked for what they’ve provided to Gaza.

“None of the European countries, by the way, gave. I mean, nobody gave but us. And nobody said, ‘Gee, thank you very much.’ And it would be nice to have at least a thank you. And I took a lot of heat,” Trump said.
Later, Trump said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “doing a very good job.” When asked if he’s talked to Netanyahu about the malnutrition in Gaza, Trump pivoted to criticizing Iran.
“I talked to him, yeah, I did. I talked to him about a lot of things. I talked to him about Iran. I think Iran's been very nasty with their words, with their mouth.”
Trump said that the US will provide more aid to Gaza, adding that he wants more countries to participate.
“Will I do more aid? Yeah, the U.S. is going to do more aid for Gaza, but we'd like to have other countries participate,” Trump said. “We're going to mention that to the European Union today. You know, that's an international problem. It's not a U.S. problem. It's an international problem. And we're giving a lot of money and a lot of food and a lot of everything. If we weren't there, I think people would have starved. Frankly, they would have starved, and it's not like they're eating well, but a lot of that food is getting stolen by stolen by Hamas.”
