In town pool report #7: Witkoff quote

Flagging one more quote from POTUS. This quote was referring to special envoy Steve Witkoff:

"Going to Israel, and then he’s going to Russia, believe it or not.”

The rest of his quote was in response to a question was about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments about "genocide" in Gaza and whether he agreed.

"It's terrible what's occurring there. It's a terrible thing. People are very hungry. You know, the United States gave $60 million for food and it's a shame, because I don't see the results of it. And we gave it to people that in theory are watching over it fairly closely. We wanted Israel to watch over it. Part of the problem is Hamas is taking the money and they're taking the food."

"But we gave $60 million a couple of weeks ago. Nobody said anything about it. Nobody said, 'Thank you,' but I didn't need the thank you. I just wanted people to get fed. And we're helping out financially with that situation. It's a terrible situation."
