Shortly after Witkoff’s arrival to Israel, President Donald Trump sent the truth to his social network: “The fastest way to end the humanitarian crises in Gaza is that Hamas surrendered and released the hostages!”
The US Department of State also announced sanctions on the Palestinian authority and Palestinian Liberation officials, saying that the groups weakened the peace efforts. Washington’s last diplomatic shift support against the Palestinians and his European allies were separated.
PA and PLO, the rivals of Hamas fighters who control Gaza, said that France, Britain and Canada can soon recognize independently in recent days as representatives of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian state executives. Australia He resisted that step so far.
Palestinian authority spokesman did not respond immediately to the request for comments. The full impact of the US movement was not clear: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that targeted individuals would be banned from traveling to the US, but did not define the targeted.

Witkoff came to Israel with the widespread destruction of the Netanyahu government of Gaza and the international pressure on the restrictions on aid in the region.
The indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas in Doha ended in a dead end last week, and the parties accuse the problems, including the scope of the Israeli military withdrawal, and to blame for gaps.
Since the war began, the Gaza Ministry of Health has recorded 156 deaths in recent weeks, including at least 90 children.
Israel, faced with international anger on the footage of children, said that on Sunday, some parts of Gaza will stop military operations for 10 hours a day and determine safe ways for food and medication convoys.
The UN Humanitarian Coordination Office said on Wednesday that the United Nations and partners could bring more food to Gaza in the first two days of pause, but the skin was “still far enough”.

This week, with the number of Palestinians killed in the war that lasted for almost two years this week, he puts pressure on Gaza to reach the cease -fire agreement with Israel.
Hamas still holds around 20 hostage in Gaza, and about 20 of them are believed to be alive. The hostage mothers guided a protest outside the Netanyahu office, which called on the government to end the war.
Israel has condemned the notifications of France, Britain and Canada since last week, that Israel has rewarded Hamas on October 7, 2023 to attack Israel. This attack, where fighters killed 1200 people and took 251 hostages to Gaza, triggered the war.
