A new U.S.-supported initiative to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza is expected to start operating shortly, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Friday, though specific details are yet to be made public.
A U.S.-backed mechanism to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza is expected to begin operating in the near future, according to Washington's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. The announcement comes ahead of President Donald Trump’s upcoming trip to the Middle East.
Speaking to reporters at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, Ambassador Huckabee said that several international partners had already agreed to take part in the aid initiative, although he did not disclose their identities. "There has been a good initial response," he said, noting that nonprofit organizations would play a leadership role, with other governments and groups potentially joining. Israel, he added, would not be directly involved.
The aid plan, developed with U.S. backing, aims to address humanitarian needs in Gaza amid ongoing logistical and security challenges. “It will not be perfect, especially in the early days,” Huckabee acknowledged. “It is a logistical challenge to make this work.”
President Trump is expected to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates next week as part of efforts to deepen regional diplomacy, including potential steps toward normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. It remains unclear whether the Gaza aid initiative is connected to a broader announcement teased by Trump ahead of his trip.
