Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, made a significant visit to Gaza on Tuesday, marking the first time an American official has visited the enclave in well over a decade. The last known visit was by then-Sen. John Kerry in 2009 as part of a congressional delegation.
During his visit, Witkoff, accompanied by Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, traveled to the Netzarim Corridor. This strategic strip of land bisects Gaza and is of crucial importance in the region.
