Witkoff plans to visit the Mideast in push for Gaza ceasefire, State Department spokesperson says

ROME, JUL 24 – Steve Witkoff meets Israeli and Qatari officials in Rome to push a U.S.-backed 60-day truce and hostage release amid a worsening Gaza humanitarian crisis, officials say.

  • On Tuesday, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is traveling to the region to help finalize a Gaza ceasefire, according to State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce.
  • Amid a mounting humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the mediators Qatar and Egypt back efforts to negotiate a 60-day ceasefire, with the Trump administration showing cautious optimism.
  • According to Axios, Witkoff departs for Rome on Wednesday to meet Ron Dermer and a senior Qatari envoy, then travel to Doha later in the week if progress is made, the news website reported.
  • Despite ongoing talks, Witkoff said Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good faith.
  • Following this week’s talks, the Knesset goes into a three-month summer recess on July 27, potentially increasing Netanyahu’s flexibility in ceasefire negotiations.
