Overview

• Envoys Steve Witkoff and Mike Huckabee spent over five hours in Gaza briefing with Israel Defense Forces and aid agencies to assess humanitarian conditions.
• Their findings confirmed that the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is delivering more than one million meals daily across southern and central Gaza.
• President Trump said he trusts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s oversight of U.S. assistance but remains concerned about Hamas intercepting or misappropriating food and financial aid.
• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the envoys will brief the president immediately and that he will approve a comprehensive food and aid distribution plan based on their report.
• The emerging strategy marks a departure from earlier relocation ideas toward a practical, Israel-partnered relief effort aimed at averting famine in Gaza.
