US envoy says he is working on plan to end Israel's war on Gaza

President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, has told the families of captives held by Hamas that he is working on a plan with the Israeli government to end the war in Gaza. The plan, developed with Prime Minister Netanyahu, focuses on the reconstruction of Gaza, which would effectively signal the war's conclusion. Witkoff also claimed that Hamas is prepared to disarm to end the conflict. This assertion is noted to be in contrast with Hamas's public statements, which tie disarmament to the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state.
