 "Trump says US gave $60 million food aid for Gaza but ‘no one is saying thank you’")
US President Donald Trump, in a meeting with EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen, said the United States had provided $60 million in food aid for Gaza but received no recognition or gratitude in return.
“We gave $60 million two weeks ago—and nobody even acknowledged it,” Trump said during a meeting in Scotland on Sunday (July 27). “When I do things like that, people often ask, ‘Why is the US doing it when nobody else is?’ But I believed it was a humanitarian necessity.”
Trump also addressed the situation of Israeli hostages in Gaza, stating that the bodies of several captives had been found. “A lot of families want the remains of their loved ones. Israel has to make a decision,” he added.
Turning to Iran, Trump criticised Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, calling the regime “very nasty.”
“Iran has been very nasty. They’re talking about continuing uranium enrichment — but we’re not going to let that happen,” he said, referring to the Islamic Republic’s controversial nuclear programme.
Meanwhile, following Israel’s announcement of daily tactical pauses to enable limited humanitarian access into Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at the United Nations, accusing it of spreading misinformation and claiming there were now “no more excuses” for suggesting Israel was blocking aid.
“To achieve our objectives—eliminating Hamas and securing the release of our hostages—we are advancing both through combat and negotiations,” Netanyahu said in a video posted on X. “Throughout this, we have allowed essential humanitarian aid to enter. Yet the UN continues to spread lies and make excuses.”

On the first day, over 100 truckloads of aid reached the besieged enclave, aided by airdrops from Jordan and the UAE. However, reports indicate that at least 17 people died while waiting in line for food, as starvation-related deaths—now believed to exceed 130—continue to rise.
