The Trump administration is looking to take over the aid effort in Gaza, albeit reluctantly, Axios reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed US officials.
The project is something the Israelis welcomed, Axios said.
"They are going to spend a lot of money in order to help us significantly improving the humanitarian situation so that it will be less of an issue," an unnamed Israeli official was quoted as saying.
It remains unclear exactly how this would be different to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has been mired in scandal and controversy since it began operations in late May.
Nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed waiting for aid at GHF sites, according to the United Nations.
