US Condemns UN Ineffectiveness in Syria and Gaza, Delivers Aid Despite Hamas Obstruction

The US State Department's briefing on May 28, 2025, focused on the ongoing situation in Syria and Gaza. The Trump administration expressed its dissatisfaction with the UN's handling of the crisis, citing a lack of impartiality and effectiveness. Despite Hamas's attempts to obstruct aid delivery, the US managed to deliver 8,000 food boxes to Gaza. A spokesperson stated, "The cancellation of sanctions will help achieve our main goal of the final defeat of ISIS, giving the Syrian people a chance for a better future." This underscores the administration's commitment to providing humanitarian assistance while simultaneously battling terrorism. However, the spokesperson also expressed concern over the UN's criticism of aid distribution methods, highlighting the complex political landscape and the challenge of delivering aid effectively in conflict zones. The delivery of aid, while significant, represents only an initial step in a long-term process to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
