If Western governments and their partners in the Arab world truly cared about feeding hungry Palestinians in Gaza, their response to the current humanitarian crisis in the coastal enclave would look very different than it does today.

On Tuesday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the United Kingdom may soon follow the lead of French President Emmanuel Macron and officially recognize a Palestinian State, if – by September – Israel does not agree to a ceasefire with Hamas and allow more aid to flow into Gaza.

In response, President Donald Trump dodged.

'I don't mind [Starmer] taking a position,' the president told reporters.

Trump should 'mind.'
