US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff and US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have arrived in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to join negotiations over Trump’s plan to free the hostages and end the war in Gaza.

Their arrival is captured on video.

Yesterday, a senior US official told Channel 12 news that the two men would not leave Egypt without an agreement in hand.
