Landing with a mission, top U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Israel on Monday to breathe new life into the Gaza ceasefire plan after a tense weekend threatened to unravel it. 🤝🕊️
The reopening of the Kerem Shalom crossing finally resumed aid shipments to Gaza after being shut down following the deaths of two soldiers. Israel then carried out dozens of strikes across Gaza, and local authorities reported at least 45 casualties from Sunday’s exchanges.
Both sides insist they're still committed to the truce. Back in Washington, President Donald Trump—who helped broker the deal—said he believes the ceasefire is intact and called for a strong but proper approach. 🔥🇺🇸
On the ground, witnesses like 29-year-old Abdullah from Al-Bureij camp described the scene: ‘It feels like war has come back. We hoped the truce would stick, but the violence returned.’
Since October 10, this fragile peace has promised hostage and prisoner swaps and a roadmap for Gaza’s future. Now, eyes are on the U.S. envoys to keep negotiations on track and turn plans into real hope for the region. 🌍✨
