Trump Envoy Meets Netanyahu as Gaza Aid Kills 91 in 24 Hours
President Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, has arrived in Israel amid deteriorating conditions in Gaza, where the Hamas-run Health Ministry reports at least 91 Palestinians killed and over 600 wounded in the past 24 hours while attempting to access humanitarian aid. The toll includes 54 people killed at the Zikim crossing in the north, and the numbers are expected to rise as many of the wounded have been transferred to smaller hospitals not yet fully counted. Israel has blamed internal crowd chaos and denied responsibility, saying it fired warning shots only, while acknowledging no Israeli deaths occurred at the scenes cited. Witkoff is set to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the U.S. announces fresh sanctions against Palestinian Authority officials for undermining peace—and with renewed international criticism over escalating famine in Gaza.
