"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.

Jordan and the United Arab Emirates parachuted 25 tons of aid into the Gaza Strip on Sunday in their first airdrop in months, a Jordanian official source said. The official said the air drops were not a substitute for delivery by land.

The military statement said airdrops would be conducted in coordination with international aid organizations. It was not clear where they would be carried out.

President Donald Trump is meeting with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland, this morning to discuss trade. The U.S. and United Kingdom reached an agreement on tariffs in May. Yesterday, Trump announced a trade deal with the European Union that would set tariffs at 15% for U.S. imports of most European goods.

President Trump said the US and other nations are giving money and food to Gaza but that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “got to sort of like run it.”
