Fragile Ceasefire: US Envoys in Israel Amid Gaza Turmoil
US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff visited Israel to support the Gaza ceasefire, tested by recent violence. Hostage remains were repatriated, and Israel resumed aid deliveries. Concerns persist over potential ceasefire collapse as retaliatory strikes continue and negotiations focus on disarming Hamas.
In a bid to stabilize the fragile truce in Gaza, US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ceasefire, challenged by violence on Monday, marked its first major test since coming into effect, following two years of devastating conflict.
Signaling commitment to the truce, Israel allowed aid deliveries to Gaza, where the humanitarian situation remains dire. However, Israeli forces had earlier threatened retaliatory actions, accusing Hamas of violating the peace deal by killing two soldiers and firing at troops.
The next stage of the ceasefire negotiations focuses on disarming Hamas and addressing human rights concerns in Gaza. Hopes are pinned on creating a sustainable governance model, while fears linger over a potential collapse of the peace efforts amid ongoing tensions.
