Trumpian types are unanimous: America needs factories. The president
describes how workers have watched in anguish as foreign leaders have
stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories and
foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.
Peter Navarro, his trade adviser, says that tariffs will fill up all
of the half-empty factories. Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary,
offers the most cartoonish pitch of all: The army of millions and
millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhonesthat

Following the collapse, in early March, of the temporary ceasefire
between Israel and Hamas, Israel essentially shut down all aid
entering the Gaza Strip. The territory had already been facing a
humanitarian crisis for nearly eighteen months. During that time,
Israel allowed in a fluctuating, almost always insufficient number of
aid trucks. The food and medicine that arrived on those trucks was
then distributed by local groups across the Strip. In May, when the
full blockade was partially liftedafter European leaders, and even the
Trump Administration, warned of starvationthe old system of aid
delivery, which was operated in part by the United Nations, was
largely phased out in favor of a new organization called the Gaza
Humanitarian Foundation, which was set up in cordination with Israeli
authorities to deliver supplies to Gazans at just four locations.
