The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation launched a new pilot program aiming to bring more "dignity and order" to aid distribution by reserving parcels in advance.

President Donald Trump did not specify which group or agency $60 million was sent to in Gaza. The White House and the U.S. State Department did not respond to requests for more information. The State Department approved a $30 million grant in late June to a U.

The State Department has fired a press officer who was responsible for drafting Trump administration talking points about policy toward Israel and Gaza after complaints from the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.

"President Trump wants to alleviate suffering for the people of Gaza because he has a humanitarian heart. He announced a new aid plan today to help Gazans obtain crucial access to food – details are forthcoming," White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in a comment to ABC News.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says he blames a recent breakdown in Gaza ceasefire talks on the decision by some European leaders to recognize Palestinian statehood.

MAGA support for helping Palestinians grew more pronounced on social media over the weekend, adding heft from the political right to long-standing left-wing calls for aid.

President Trump said Thursday that he would like to see Israel grant foreign journalists access to the Gaza Strip.  “I’d like to see that happen, sure,” the president told

So, we’re going to be even more involved.”

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff visited Gaza where they saw how the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is distributing aid and bypassing Hamas.
