On Friday, Steve Witkoff joined U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee and Israeli officials in a visit to Gaza, where he praised a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s food distribution site as “incredible.” The joint U.S.-Israeli aid effort has drawn sharp criticism for failing to meet need and being dangerous for Gazans to access.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, reports news agency Reuters. The meeting took place in a bid to salvage the Gaza truce talks and tackle a humanitarian crisis in the enclave, where a global hunger monitor has warned that famine is unfolding.
