US envoy meets Netanyahu amid ongoing breaches of ceasefire
Witkoff, accompanied by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, traveled to Israel immediately after trilateral Russia–US–Ukraine talks in the UAE earlier this week.
The talks with Netanyahu focused on “the continued progress and implementation planning for Phase 2 of President Trump’s 20-Point Plan for Gaza,” Witkoff said in a statement. He added that discussions also covered “broader regional issues,” without specifying, likely alluding to tensions with Iran and potential US military options in the region.
The US delegation reportedly urged Israeli officials to move forward with Phase 2, which involves reopening the Rafah border crossing to Egypt. Israel has been hesitant to implement this step, seeking to link it with the disarmament of Hamas and the return of the body of the last deceased hostage believed to be held by the militant group.
