US special envoy Steve Witkoff is slated to travel to Israel today, reports Axios, citing two US officials.
An Israeli official confirms the visit to the Times of Israel.
“The president wants to know more about what the humanitarian situation in Gaza is in order to know how to get more assistance to civilians in Gaza,” one official tells Axios, after US President Donald Trump stressed the importance of getting Gazans fed during his trip to Scotland.
Witkoff might enter Gaza and see distribution sites belonging to the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to the report.
He was last in Israel in May.
Witkoff was expected to travel to the Middle East last week amid hostage talks in Doha, but canceled that leg of his trip as negotiations unraveled.
