Two years after Hamas's attack, Israel's relentless campaign has left Gaza in ruins, hostages unrecovered, and Netanyahu's promises of security and peace further away than ever before.

In March, Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza that would last for 2 1/2 months and ended the truce with a surprise bombardment. It faced no public pushback from Trump, who a month earlier had floated the idea of depopulating Gaza and turning it into a tourist destination.

Early on Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led fighters launched a multi-pronged terrorist attack on Israel. The resulting war in Gaza has created a humanitarian catastrophe.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were on hand to take part in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas, which aim to end the war in Gaza.

US President Donald Trump has demanded that everyone involved in Gaza peace talks “move fast” to end the war as Israeli and Hamas officials meet in Egypt.The indirect talks on a US-drafted peace plan to end the war in the besieged Strip are being held in an Egyptian coastal resort on Monday,

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner are traveling to Egypt to discuss the last details of a deal.
