U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also visited Gaza "to learn the truth about" Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites.

President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy became the first high profile U.S. official to visit Gaza since the war began, touring a U.S.-backed aid operation on Friday that the United Nations says is partly to blame for deadly conditions in the enclave.

Steve Witkoff visited the enclave on Friday amid growing pressure on Israel to ease the hunger crisis. Hamas said the trip would be a “propaganda show.”
