Trump sounds off on Putin, Gaza

Do you think a ceasefire is even possible, Mr. President? Yes, a ceasefire is possible. But you have to end it. A ceasefire possible, but you have to end it. So the question I have, the US, the UK, members of the European Union, they're all turning up the pressure to get more help, more aid on the ground to those starving children and others in Gaza, right? But it all comes down to the man that the president calls Bibi. He's striking a friendly tone there, but there's really no signal that there's going to be any marked improvement where a ceasefire is concerned, where release of hostages is concerned. Yeah, that's right. And remember, these two, although they may appear friendly in front of cameras, they oftentimes have tension behind the scenes, but they also telegraph their messages in front of the camera to each other. We've seen Benjamin Netanyahu, the president, refers to him by his nickname, Bibi there, we've seen him do interviews with FoxNews, of course, a network that the president watches often. He's telegraphed messages to President Trump. And now we see President Trump doing just that in terms of the dire humanitarian situation there on the ground in Gaza with starving people, specifically children. The president mentioned this again in that formal sit down that we saw, that meeting with Keir Starmer, where they were in a ballroom at the president's golf course, there. We certainly have to keep an eye on the situation there in Gaza. We, of course, have seen those air drops happen over the past couple of days. But in large part, aid organizations will tell you that that's just optics, that what you really need is those trucks, those truckloads of food to go into Gaza. And really, that is essentially where we're at here. You have individuals that the president sees at least. He says that there certainly are some children starving there in Gaza. And this is certainly something that aid organizations have warned about for weeks leading up to this point. We do, of course, know that ceasefire negotiations stalled. The Americans walking away, at least for now, from those negotiations in large part due to blaming Hamas, I should say, rather, for demands that they put on the table. So it's a guessing game in terms of if that ceasefire happens. But the president putting a little bit of optimism in his remarks there, saying that a ceasefire essentially could potentially be possible. But at the same time saying that the situation needs to be handled differently. And the president also calling for more aid to come into Gaza amid those individuals that appear to be starving on the ground, according to aid organizations, Reed.
