Steve Witkoff, President Trump's Middle East envoy, visited Gaza ahead of meetings with Israeli leaders. His trip marks the first by a senior U.S. official in over ten years. The context of his visit lies in the recently brokered ceasefire agreement aimed at addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis and hostilities between Israel and Hamas. The agreement involves the release of hostages and prisoners as both parties seek to negotiate peace, with significant pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to navigate these complex dynamics amid his coalition's push for renewed military action.
Witkoff's visit to Gaza marks the first trip by a high-ranking U.S. official there in over a decade, highlighting an urgent need for diplomatic engagement.
The ceasefire agreement, facilitated by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt, aims to stabilize the region by exchanging hostages and prisoners, amid escalating violence.
