U.S. UN Ambassador Endorses Trump Gaza Peace Plan
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said President Donald Trump’s recently released Gaza peace plan could be a 'once-in-a-generation opportunity' for Middle East peace and pledged U.S. cooperation with the U.N. while demanding reforms. In a Fox News Digital interview, Waltz criticized U.N. aid delivery in Gaza—citing U.N. numbers that nearly 90% of aid trucks were intercepted between May 19 and Aug. 5—and said the U.S. will press the U.N. for changes and has threatened a funding freeze until reforms are made. Waltz also highlighted the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s claim of delivering more than 178 million meals since May as part of alternative aid efforts.
