We sent $60 million in food aid to Gaza, but no one thanked us, says Trump
In remarks made during a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Trump said:
'We delivered USD 60 million worth of food into Gaza. It got in. No one thanked us. Not Hamas, not anyone.'
Trump also downplayed the severity of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, saying:
'I don't think there's a famine in Gaza". He went on to describe the situation on the ground as chaotic and mismanaged:
'People are stealing the food, they're stealing the money, they're stealing the money for the food, they're stealing weapons, they're stealing everything. It's a mess. That whole place is a mess.'
The president also reiterated his stance on "Israeli" captives held by Hamas:
'Hamas must release the hostages and detainees. We've already brought most of them back.'
'It's up to Israel now. Israel has to make a decision about Gaza.'

Houthis announce military escalation, begin fourth phase of ‘Israel' blockade
Yemen's Armed Forces, led by the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, announced Sunday the launch of a new phase in their military operations targeting "Israel"-linked maritime activity, in response to the continued genocide in Gaza. In a statement delivered by military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, the group said it would begin Phase Four of its naval blockade, targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with "Israeli" ports, regardless of nationality or destination. The escalation comes amid what Saree described as 'unprecedented and horrific massacres' committed by the Israeli Occupation in Gaza, and 'shameful Arab, Islamic, and international silence.' He said the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza imposes a religious, moral, and human responsibility on Yemen. The statement warned that any company continuing to operate with "Israeli" ports would see its vessels 'targeted anywhere they can be reached by our missiles and drones.' Saree emphasized that the Yemeni military's actions were a reflection of its 'moral and humanitarian commitment to the oppressed Palestinian people.' He added that all military operations would immediately cease upon a full end to the war on Gaza and the lifting of the blockade. The Houthis called on all countries to pressure "Israel" to halt its aggression and siege on Gaza, saying, 'No free person on this earth can accept what is happening.'

Israeli army says two soldiers killed in south Gaza
JERUSALEM — Two Israeli soldiers were killed in combat in southern Gaza on Sunday, the military said, a day after confirming another soldier had died of wounds sustained last week. "We have lost three young heroes, some of our finest , who gave their lives for the security of our state and the return of all our hostages," Defence Minister Israel Katz said on X. The two soldiers, aged 20 and 22, served in the Golani Infantry Brigade's 51st Battalion. Israeli military sources said they were killed when their armoured vehicle exploded in the city of Khan Yunis. Military correspondents from several Israeli media outlets said the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device detonated by a militant who emerged from a tunnel. An investigation was underway. The Israeli military says 462 soldiers have been killed since the start of its ground offensive in Gaza on October 27, 2023. The Israeli campaign has killed 59,733 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.
