US has already ensured a better distribution of humanitarian aid in the territory, dropping the Israeli Prime Minister’s narrative to the ground that there was no hunger in the Palestinian territory
“There is hunger in Gaza, you can’t pretend.” It was with these words that, for the first time, Donald Trump hitherto defended by the United States about what is happening in Gaza. Against the position of his friend and ally Benjamin Netanyahu, the US President also said that Israel “has a lot of responsibility” for limiting humanitarian aid in Palestinian territory, something that can affect the pretensions of Israeli Prime Minister.
“This decision greatly weakens Netanyahu’s position as Israel rests a lot on US support, at a time when the European machine is roughly paralyzed, especially due to Germany and Austria, which have blocked certain actions,” CNN Portugal Tiago André Lopes, an international relations expert.
“Israel loses this way the narrative that was creating that there was no hunger in Gaza,” argues the commentator of CNN Portugal, stressing: “The fact that his main partner [os EUA] Contradict the thesis that has been defended in recent times that GHF, the Foundation that has replaced the UN, has failed its purpose. “
The Humanitarian Foundation Gaza, known simply by GHF, has been responsible since May this year for distributing humanitarian aid in Palestinian territory. The American private entity has since faced serious difficulties in the distribution of food, claiming to be the target of threats from Hamas operational.
At a time when diplomatic pressure increases, Colonel José Carmo defends another perspective on the impact of Trump’s statement on Netanyahu. “The statement does not change the internal situation of Netanyahu, as it runs no immediate risk.”
The colonel recalls that the country “will not go to elections briefly” and that “over the next three months Parliament is paralyzed, so it is certain that the Israeli Prime Minister will not leave office during this time.” “If there were elections now, we might be able to equate a defeat by Netanyahu, but there is no marked vote and therefore is not fragile,” he argues.
Trump made Israel “partially abdicate his initial strategy”
Although Trump’s statement does not have any negative effect internally, at the international level has already caused Mossa to Prime Minister Israelite, who was forced to “partially abdicate his initial strategy,” says the colonel.
“At the international level Trump’s statement turns out to be quite relevant. Israel has already changed its approach to Gaza and is allowing more humanitarian aid, partially abdicating the initial strategy that had been adopting here. But it all leads to the realization of the US President’s public statement,” says José Carmo.
Through social network X, the Israeli Ministry of Defense guaranteed on Monday that 120 trucks entered the Gaza Strip and that the United Nations (UN) and other non-governmental organizations distributed food to the Palestinian population.
However, according to Hamas sources cited by EFE agency, only 73 trucks entered the Gaza Strip, “most were looted under the awareness of the Israeli occupation and its drones, in a clear attempt to prevent help from reaching the distribution centers.”
Throughout the war, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has invested significant efforts in advancing the humanitarian response for the civilian population in Gaza.
As part of these ongoing efforts, Israel announced a series of additional steps to boost humanitarian access:…

Also the Israeli military organism that manages civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, Cogat, has revealed new measures to mitigate the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. Among these is the authorization of a project of the United Arab Emirates that provides for the installation of a water conduct. This infrastructure will allow drinking water supply from an Egyptian desalination station to the Al-Mawasi humanitarian area, located on the southern coast.
In addition to Israel, the US has also been ensuring a better distribution of humanitarian aid. The same day he admitted the humanitarian crisis in the region, Trump, questioned by journalists, said he is planning to create food centers in Gaza. “The United States will help with food” and “we will also ensure that there are no barriers to prevent people,” he said.
A decision that may have an obvious reason for Colonel José Carmo. “Trump is doing everything to be a Nobel Peace Prize and therefore does not want to be associated with a humanitarian crisis.”
