A special envoy representing former President Donald Trump has strongly denied a recent report claiming Trump would abandon Israel if re-elected. The envoy dismissed the report as "fake news" during an interview, emphasizing Trump's unwavering support for Israel. The envoy also discussed progress in negotiations to secure the release of hostages held in the region.
Regarding U.S. aid to Gaza, the envoy stated, "Perhaps there needs to be a replacement for UNRWA." This comment raises questions about the future of U.S. funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which provides essential services to Palestinian refugees.
The envoy's remarks come amid ongoing discussions about the U.S. role in the Middle East and the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The denial of the "abandonment" report aims to reassure allies and clarify Trump's position on key foreign policy issues.
