Only a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump seemed confident a deal was days away that would end the fighting in Gaza, secure the release of hostages and allow aid to flow into an enclave where people are starving to death.

"Nobody talks about it, and it makes you feel a little bad," the president said of sending aid to Gaza, where Palestinians have been starving to death.

The Sunday Times reports that Sir Keir Starmer will ask US President Donald Trump when they meet next week to help resume ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, after Israel and the US left talks last week.

Militants “didn’t want to make” a deal, Trump said after U.S., Israeli ceasefire negotiators pulled back from talks.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is expected to raise the situation in Gaza when he meets US President Donald Trump in Scotland on Monday. Sir Keir will likely discuss efforts to urgently bring about a ceasefire to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
