White House to Hold Conference on Humanitarian Situation in Gaza

U.S. Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt.

Washington, MINA – The White House will hold a conference on the humanitarian situation in Gaza on Tuesday, US special envoy Jason Greenblatt announced.

President Donald Trump’s “administration believes that deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza require immediate attention,” KUNA reported, citing Greenblatt in a statement announcing the conference.

The meeting is expected to include top White House aide Jared Kushner, National Security Council staff and “many of the relevant parties,” Greenblatt said.

It is unclear whether Palestinians officials will break their de facto boycott of US officials to attend.

The Palestinians were enraged by President Donald Trump’s decision to break with long-standing US policy by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.(T/RS5/RS1)
