US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law and Middle East adviser Jared Kushner have arrived in Egypt’s Sharm el Sheikh to join the indirect Israel-Hamas talks aimed at reaching a long-sought Gaza ceasefire deal, reports Barak Ravid of Axios.
Witkoff and Kushner were architects of Trump’s 20-point plan, which calls for a gradual Israeli withdrawal and the release of all remaining hostages within 72 hours of the start of a truce, among other conditions.
