U.S. Envoys Rush to Israel as Gaza Ceasefire Tested by Violence

Palestinians inspect the damage around their homes after an Israeli strike on Sunday targeted the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner arrived in Israel on Monday to reinforce a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, just a day after the truce faced its first major flareup.

The visit comes amid heightened tensions following Israeli claims that Hamas militants killed two soldiers, prompting threats to suspend humanitarian aid transfers. Although the Israeli military later confirmed it would resume enforcing the ceasefire, uncertainty lingered over whether aid deliveries had restarted.

The U.S.-brokered truce, now in its second week, was designed to halt more than two years of conflict. President Donald Trump described Hamas as “quite rambunctious” during remarks aboard Air Force One, suggesting that rogue elements within the group may be undermining the agreement.

The envoys’ mission underscores Washington’s urgent push to stabilize the situation and prevent a collapse of the deal, which remains critical for both regional security and humanitarian relief efforts.
