Trump envoy to join Gaza ceasefire ‘inspection team’ as US backs Israel

Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy has announced plans to visit the region as part of what he called “an inspection team” tasked with overseeing compliance with the Gaza ceasefire.

In an interview with Fox News, Steve Witkoff insisted that all Middle Eastern nations would eventually “get on board” with normalising relations with Israel.

Pressed on which countries might be next, he pointed to Qatar, calling it a key player in securing the truce.

His remarks come as Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure the aftermath of Israel’s relentless bombardment, which has devastated entire neighbourhoods and left hundreds of thousands homeless.
