Donald Trump broke ranks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, rejecting his claim that 'there is no starvation in Gaza'.
Trump, who has been a strong backer of Israel in its war with Hamas, seems to have changed his stance after images of starving children in the embattled area gripped First Lady Melania Trump.
'She thinks it's terrible,' Trump said on board Air Force One on Tuesday. 'She sees the same pictures that you see. And that we all see. And I think everybody – unless they're pretty cold-hearted or, worse than that, nuts.
And during a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday, Trump said of the images showing malnourished kids in the territory, their limbs emaciated and ribs protruding: '...Those children look very hungry.'
'Some of those kids are – that's real starvation stuff. I see it and you can't fake that.'
