AI Summary:
\ Starvation in Gaza Tests His Foreign Policy Approach President Trump will have to decide whether America intends to take a leading role in confronting one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century. Mr. Trump acknowledged starvation after largely deflecting on the issue, even as world leaders and humanitarian organizations warned that more than 20 months of Israeli bombardment and aid restrictions had left nearly two million Palestinians in a hunger crisis. Global crises have often been tests of whether American presidents would show moral leadership on the world stage. President Bill Clinton said the United States and the rest of the world did not do enough to stop the genocide there. At least 56 Palestinians died this month of starvation in Gaza, nearly half of the total such deaths since the war began 22 months ago. Starmer said he wanted to create more food sites that were more easily accessible to Palestinians. He said Britain would assist the United States in the effort. It was a notable turn in Mr. Trump’s posture toward Gaza, which has largely been focused on shifting the focus to actions by Hamas. Trump administration approved $30 million in funding for a fledgling aid distribution system in Gaza backed by Israel and run mostly by American contractors. Mr. Trump has also claimed that “no other nation gave money” In fact, as of January, the European Union had spent about $605 million on aid to Gaza since 2023. Israel's Water Crisis: After a five-year drought and decades of mismanagement, Tehran is at risk of running out of water, the government warned. Canada, Australia and Britain have increased pressure on Israel over the starvation and the killing of civilians in Gaza.
