Trump envoy Witkoff in Israel to oversee ceasefire deal

Steve Witkoff, a US diplomat and Middle East envoy, recently met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. This meeting occurred during a regional diplomatic push, coinciding with a ceasefire in Gaza. As part of the ceasefire, Israel has begun withdrawing troops from the Netzarim corridor and allowing Palestinians to return to the area. However, negotiations for the second phase of the agreement, scheduled to start on February 3, are expected to be challenging.
