President Donald Trump said he does not believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza on Sunday, but is fighting a war.
“I don’t think it’s that. They’re in a war,” Trump responded to a reporter who asked him if he’s seen evidence of genocide in Gaza.
The president went on to point out that Hamas’s October 7 massacre was a “horrible, horrible thing,” adding that it was “one of the worst” he’s ever seen.
“I’ve seen some bad things, but October 7th with Hamas was really, really bad,” he said.

Trump’s remarks come as the media, activist groups, and some countries have made accusations of genocide. Israel has rejected such accusations, stating that it does not intentionally target civilians and takes measures to evacuate them from combat zones.

Trump added that the United States is making serious efforts to help get goods into Gaza.
“We’re putting up money to get the people fed,” he said, likely referring to the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site. “We don’t want people going hungry, and we don’t want people to starve.”
Israel has denied that there is mass starvation in the Gaza Strip but has vowed to help increase food aid.
Steve Witkoff, the United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, and Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/witkoff-and-huckabee-tour-gaza-humanitarian-foundation-site-as-group-distributes-100-millionth-meal?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Witkoff+And+Huckabee+Tour+Gaza+Humanitarian+Foundation+Site+As+Group+Distributes+100+Millionth+Meal">toured a GHF site</a> on Friday as the foundation marked the distribution of its 100 millionth meal.
Witkoff, who sported a Make America Great Again hat, said the purpose of the visit was to give Trump “a clear understanding of the humanitarian situation and help craft a plan to deliver food and medical aid to the people of Gaza.”

GHF is responsible for carrying out President Donald Trump’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-orders-humanitarian-aid-delivered-gaza?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=15&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Sends+Aid+To+Gaza.+Israel+Will+Not+Distribute+It.">aid initiative</a>, which aims to deliver humanitarian aid directly to Gazan civilians while preventing Hamas from intercepting supplies — a challenge that has persisted since the war began.
“President Trump understands the stakes in Gaza and that feeding civilians, not Hamas, must be the priority,” GHF Spokesperson Chapin Fay said in a statement. “Today he sent his envoy to serve as his eyes and ears on the ground, reflecting his deep concern and commitment to doing what’s right.”
On Monday, GHF distributed 1,718,640 meals, bringing its total since May 26 to 106,546,842.

The plan includes having the Israeli Defense Forces operating in areas where hostages are believed to be held despite Hamas’s threats to murder hostages if forces get too close, The <a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-863225">Jerusalem Post reported</a>.

The decision came after Hamas tanked ceasefire negotiations last month, leading to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-blames-hamas-for-ceasefire-collapse-says-terror-group-wants-to-die?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=5&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Blames+Hamas+for+Ceasefire+Collapse%2C+Says+Terror+Group+%E2%80%98Wants+To+Die%E2%80%99">Trump saying</a> the terror group “wants to die.”
“They pulled out in terms of negotiation,” Trump said. “It was too bad. Hamas didn’t really want to make a deal. I think they want to die and it’s very, very bad. It got to be to a point where you’re going to finish the job.”
