💨 Abstract
Steve Witkoff, the U.S. envoy, is traveling to the Middle East to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, aiming to establish a new humanitarian corridor. The region has seen escalating violence, with a recent incident killing at least 85 Palestinians seeking aid—an event the UN blamed on Israeli forces. Negotiations, held in Qatar, have shown minimal progress, with key disputes over troop redeployment and hostage releases.
