Jewish Groups, Trump Urge More Gaza Aid

A growing number of American Jewish organizations are publicly urging the Israeli government to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, expressing concern over escalating food insecurity and civilian suffering. Major groups such as the American Jewish Committee and the Rabbinical Assembly have called for increased cooperation to deliver food and medicine, while maintaining support for Israel’s security. Donald Trump has publicly diverged from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, acknowledging severe hunger in Gaza and demanding that Israel allow unrestricted food deliveries in response to international criticism. Trump also stated that the U.S. and Israel know the locations of some hostages in Gaza and are working on plans for their release, while warning that rescue efforts must avoid endangering lives. He added that Hamas is stealing significant portions of aid, complicating relief efforts. The situation remains contentious, with divisions among U.S. Jewish communities, global leaders, and within the Israeli government.
