LONDON: US President Donald Trump met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, where both agreed that urgent action is needed to bring an end to the suffering in Gaza, according to a statement from the British government.
"They reiterated their calls for an immediate ceasefire to pave the way for peace in the region, " the statement said.
A day after Israel eased aid restrictions due to a worsening humanitarian crisis, Trump expressed disagreement on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement that there is no starvation in Gaza, Xinhua news agency reported.
When asked whether he agreed with Netanyahu's remarks about hunger in Gaza before a meeting with Starmer, Trump said, "Based on television, I would say not particularly because those children look very hungry."
