President Donald Trump’s special envoy has arrived in Israel to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

White House envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to travel to Israel on Wednesday to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, two U.S. officials with direct knowledge tell Axios. Why it matters: This is Witkoff's first trip to Israel in almost six months and it comes amid a stalemate in the Gaza ceasefire and hostage talks and the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff was expected to arrive in Israel on Thursday in a bid to salvage Gaza ceasefire talks and tackle a humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave, where a global hunger monitor has warned that famine was unfolding.
