Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Sunday that the country has fully endorsed US President Donald Trump's aid plan for Gaza, laid out by the American envoy to Israel.
Israel has blocked aid from entering the Palestinian territory since early March, a move aid groups say has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, fuel and medicine.
"Israel fully endorses the Trump Administration's plan presented on Friday by US Ambassador to Israel, Mr. Mike Huckabee," Saar said at a press conference in Jerusalem with his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul.
Wadephul said the German government would support the plan "if it is a means to ensure adequate humanitarian supply". However, he stressed that "the great human suffering is worsening every day" in Gaza.
The Gaza health ministry said on Saturday that at least 2,701 people have been killed since Israel resumed its campaign in the territory on 18 March, bringing the official death toll since the war broke out in 2023 to 52,810. The true death toll is believed to be much higher as bodies remain trapped beneath the rubble.
