Witkoff set to brief UN Security Council members on Gaza, Iran

US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff plans to brief members of the United Nations Security Council today, diplomats say.

The briefing, to which all 15 members of the Security Council have been invited, would take place at the US Mission to the United Nations, the sources say, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Axios, which first reported the news, says Witkoff is expected to brief on US policy regarding the war in Gaza and nuclear talks with Iran. It said he was expected to focus primarily on Gaza and on a new aid mechanism proposed by Israel and the US.

Israel has so far given few details about the new mechanism. European leaders and aid groups have criticized Israel’s plans to take over the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza and use private companies to get food to families after two months in which the military has prevented supplies from entering the Strip.
