President Donald Trump told reporters traveling with him in Turnberry, Scotland Monday that the US will set up “food centers” in Gaza to address the ongoing starvation and malnutrition crisis amid Israel’s aid blockade.

“We’re going to set up food centers, and we’re going to do it in conjunction with some very good people, and we’re going to supply funds, and we just took in trillions of dollars, we got a lot of money, and we’re going to spend a little money on some food, and other nations are joining us,” Trump said Monday. “So, we’re going to set up food centers, and where the people can walk in and no boundaries, we’re not going to have fences.”

Trump, who has largely blamed Hamas for the delay in distributing aid to civilians in Gaza, acknowledged Israel “has a lot of responsibility,” for limiting aid to the region, but again called for Hamas to release the hostages still held in Gaza to ease negotiations, warning Israel could escalate its campaign in the enclave.

The president also broke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s weekend assertion that there is “no starvation in Gaza.”

“That’s real starvation stuff,” Trump said. “I see it, and you can’t fake that. So, we’re going to be even more involved.”
