What the Evidence Shows

The claim by Karoline Leavitt states that people in the Gaza Strip have been seen yelling 'thank you Trump' for aid and meals they received, which she contrasts with the previous administration's alleged failure to provide such aid. The search results confirm that Leavitt made this statement during a press briefing.facebook.com dailymotion.com

However, there is no corroborating evidence from independent or credible news sources that people in Gaza have publicly expressed gratitude to former President Trump in this manner. Additionally, the claim that the previous administration never provided aid to Gaza is misleading. Historically, U.S. Administrations, including the one prior to Trump, have provided humanitarian aid to Gaza through various channels, although aid policies have fluctuated due to political and security considerations.

Furthermore, indicates that some of Leavitt's claims about Gaza have been challenged as false or misrepresentative by reputable media outlets like the BBC. Given the lack of independent verification of people in Gaza publicly thanking Trump for aid and the oversimplification regarding previous administrations' aid efforts, the claim is misleading rather than fully true or false. It appears to be a politically motivated statement lacking factual support in its specifics.
