Senate Democrats are imploring President Donald Trump's administration to step up its role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza.

Plus, some Republican lawmakers are pushing for legislation to end "weather modification," pushing a fringe theory that humans are controlling the weather into the mainstream.

"President Trump wants to alleviate suffering for the people of Gaza because he has a humanitarian heart. He announced a new aid plan today to help Gazans obtain crucial access to food – details are forthcoming," White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in a comment to ABC News.

The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has passed 60,000. The world’s leading authority on food crises says the “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out” in the territory of over 2 million people.

"America First" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called the situation in Gaza "a genocide," while other Republicans said that Congress should not provide food and aid to the region.

The president described the food crisis in the enclave as a “terrible situation,” and said the U.S. would set up food centers and fund the effort along with European nations.

President Donald Trump on Monday used his luxury golf course on Scotland’s southeastern coast to host British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, mixing critical discussions on the deepening food crisis in Gaza,

President Trump said the US and other nations are giving money and food to Gaza but that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “got to sort of like run it.”

After opening a new golf course at his Aberdeenshire resort, President Trump was scheduled to fly back to the United States.
