US President Donald Trump on Friday backed aid for Palestinians, saying people in Gaza are starving and adding he expected "a lot of good things" in the next month.

Asked whether he supported Israeli plans to expand the war in Gaza, Trump told reporters: "I think a lot of good things are going to happen over the next month, and we're going to see.

"We also have to help out the Palestinians. A lot of people are starving in Gaza, so we have to look at both sides."
