US 'Troubled' By Gaza Aid Crisis As Rubio Signals Openness To Alternatives Amid Famine Warnings

Oneindia

As famine looms in Gaza, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington is open to alternatives after a US-Israel aid plan was slammed by critics and rejected by the UN. Speaking from Turkey, Rubio emphasized concern for Gaza’s civilians, calling for solutions that bypass Hamas. The new Geneva-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to deliver 300 million meals, but little is known about it. The UN insists its impartial system remains the best route. Meanwhile, Netanyahu prepares a new offensive and reiterates a firm stance on Hamas’ elimination.    #GazaCrisis #MarcoRubio #USIsraelAid #FamineInGaza #RubioStatement #GazaAidPlan #GazaHumanitarianFoundation #GHF #UNRelief #Hamas #Netanyahu #TrumpMiddleEastTour #IsraelGazaWar #MiddleEastCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #FoodAidGaza #GazaBlockade #PeacePlan #UNvsGHF #GazaUpdates  ~ED.346~HT.336~GR.122~
