President Trump said that Israel is going to have to “decide what to do” with the Gaza Strip now that ceasefire talks have collapsed and vowed to send more US aid to Palestinians in the war-torn enclave.

“When you get it down to a certain number, you’re going to be able to make a deal with Hamas because once they give them up, then they feel that that’s going to be the end of them,” Trump said, referring to hostage negotiations.

“They [Hamas] don’t want to give [the hostages] back, and so Israel is going to have to make a decision.”

He added: “I know what I’d do, but I don’t think it’s appropriate that I say. But Israel is going to make a decision.”

Speaking to reporters ahead of his talks with European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during his trip to the United Kingdom, Trump also complained that the US doesn’t get credit for sending aid to the Gazans.

“If we weren’t there. I think people would have starved frankly,” Trump said. They would have starved and it’s not like they’re eating well.”

“We gave $60 million two weeks for food, for Gaza,” Trump bemoaned at another point. “And nobody acknowledged it, nobody talks about it. It makes you feel a little bad when you do that, and you have other countries not giving anything.”

“It would be nice to at least have a ‘thank you.'”

Trump claimed that he had backlash from some of his supporters but stressed he decided to send aid to Gaza anyway because there is “a humanitarian reason for doing it.”

“Will I do more aid, yeah,” Trump replied when asked about sending additional resources to the beleaguered Gaza Strip. “The US is going to do more aid for Gaza but we would like to have other countries participate.”

The president did not specify how much more aid the US intends to send.

Israel has come under pressure from human rights organizations over reports of a worsening food crisis on the ground in the Gaza Strip. Over two dozen Western countries have publicly demanded that Israel take steps to allow more aid into Gaza. 

Over the weekend, airdrops of aid began to fall into Gaza with the blessing of the Israeli military. Israel’s military also announced plans to establish critical humanitarian corridors for United Nations convoys to enter and disperse aid to starving Palestinians in Gaza. 

The Israeli Defense Force described the shift as being “aimed at improving the humanitarian response” in Gaza and to “refute the false claims of deliberate starvation in the Gaza Strip.”

Over 250 trucks filled with aid from the UN and other groups entered Gaza on Saturday, which is down from the roughly 600 trucks per day that entered during the prior ceasefire that collapsed in March. 

Israel had been engaged in ceasefire negotiations with Hamas this month, but those discussions broke down last week.
