‘This cannot continue,’ US senator says
Democratic US Senator Chris Van Hollen has hit out at Trump, a Republican, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for replacing humanitarian aid groups in Gaza “with mercenaries – leading to more death and devastation”.
“Every day, the horrors in Gaza reach new, unimaginable depths,” Van Hollen wrote in a social media post.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire while trying to receive aid from the US-backed GHF.
“This cannot continue,” Van Hollen said.
