Witkoff and Huckabee to enter Gaza as anger over famine mounts

US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee plan to enter Gaza to inspect aid distribution sites amid a mounting famine. The visit reflects growing pressure on the Trump administration as the death toll surpasses 60,000 and images of starving Palestinians cause backlash in the US. The US and Israel have been using the scandal-plagued Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to distribute aid after sidelining the United Nations. This approach is facing criticism from both Democrats, who recently attempted to block a weapons sale, and some prominent conservatives within Trump's own base.
