Trump says Netanyahu ‘felt well’ about his call for more food, medicine into Gaza

Washington, Apr 25 (UNI) US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu felt well about his urge to get more food and medicine into the Gaza Strip.
"Well, [he] felt well about it," Trump said, when asked how Netanyahu responded to his request to get more food and medicine into Gaza.
Trump said on Tuesday that he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss Iran and trade, emphasizing that both countries agree on all the matters discussed.
"Gaza came up and I said, you got to be good to Gaza. Those people are suffering. We got to be good to Gaza ... There's a very big need for medicine, food and medicine, and we're taking care of it," he added.
The UN World Food Programme said earlier in the day that it had fully depleted its food stocks in the Gaza Strip.
No humanitarian or commercial supplies have been able to enter Gaza for over seven weeks, as all major border crossings remain closed, the WFP said, adding that more than 116,000 tonnes of food have been stuck on the border as drivers are waiting for permission to enter the enclave.
The agency called for the resumption of food and humanitarian supplies into Gaza to provide urgent assistance to the civilian population of the enclave.
On March 18, Israel resumed strikes on the Gaza Strip, citing Palestinian movement Hamas' refusal to accept the US plan to extend the ceasefire, which expired on March 1. Israel cut off electricity supply to a desalination plant in the Gaza Strip and closed off entry to trucks carrying humanitarian aid.
