A “very, very big announcement” US President Donald Trump plans to make during his Middle East trip next week will likely be about an international aid mechanism for the Gaza Strip, a foreign diplomat tells The Times of Israel.

Trump made a coy reference to the announcement during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday, saying it would be “one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject,” and that it would be “very positive.”
