President Donald Trump said this week the U.S. would send more aid to Gaza, especially food, as the hunger crisis worsens.

President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff is visiting Israel today to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Middle East Director for the International Communities Organization Gershon Baskin joins Ana Cabrera to share how Israelis view the situation and why only Trump can influence Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to end the war.

President Trump said on Thursday that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza will end if Hamas releases the hostages and surrenders. Why it matters: The comment from the president marks a change in tone from others he made in recent days that put the onus on Israel to improve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
