U.S. President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have voiced support for a Gaza ceasefire and discussed next steps for recovery, alongside calls for urgent humanitarian aid during talks in Scotland.
Meeting at Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland on Monday, both leaders said the humanitarian situation in Gaza had become critical and that aid must reach people without delay. They also discussed what should follow once assistance is delivered, highlighting the need for longer-term recovery and stability.
President Trump said the United States was working with other countries to expand food and sanitation support. He announced plans to establish food centres in Gaza that would be open and easily accessible.
“We’re going to set up food centres,” with no fences or boundaries, Trump said.
He added that discussions were ongoing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about “various plans” to secure the release of hostages still held by Hamas. Trump described the group as increasingly difficult to engage with in recent days.
Prime Minister Starmer said conditions in Gaza were “absolutely intolerable” and that food aid must be delivered urgently.
“We need to galvanise other countries to support getting that aid in, and yes, that does involve putting pressure on Israel, because it absolutely is a humanitarian catastrophe,” he said.
The meeting comes as international concern grows over the worsening crisis in Gaza, where access to basic necessities remains limited and many hostages are still believed to be held. Despite several rounds of diplomacy, no ceasefire has yet been reached.
While no major new measures were announced, both leaders stressed the need for swift and coordinated action, combining humanitarian relief with broader diplomatic efforts.
