U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, who has led the Trump administration's efforts to wind down the nearly 22-month war, will arrive in Israel on Thursday for talks.

In late June, the U.S. State Department approved the $30 million U.S. Agency for International Development grant for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.- and Israeli-backed initiative that launched in May after Israel suspended aid in March. (USAID was disbanded as of July 1 but merged its remaining operations with the State Department.)
