As global concern over the crisis in Gaza intensifies, Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, visited an aid distribution site in the enclave.

Washington — U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee are heading to Gaza on Friday to survey food and aid distribution sites and meet with people living there, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
