WHO upbeat on scaling up aid under Gaza ceasefire terms

GENEVA: A World Health Organization official said on Friday that it should be possible to scale up aid imports into Gaza massively to around 600 trucks a day under the terms of a ceasefire deal.
“I think the possibility is very much there and specifically when other crossings will be opened up,” Rik Peeperkorn, WHO representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, told a Geneva press briefing.

Trump says Gaza stabilization force is already running

  • “More and more countries are coming into it. They’re already in but they’ll send any number of troops that I ask them to send”

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday said the International Stabilization Force for Gaza is already running and that more countries would be added.
“I think that, in a form, it’s already running,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “More and more countries are coming into it. They’re already in but they’ll send any number of troops that I ask them to send.” 

Trump said his administration was looking into whether Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire by killing a Hamas leader on Saturday.
