Monday, October 13, 2025- U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff made a surprise visit to Gaza this week to review humanitarian efforts and monitor the fragile ceasefire’s progress.
His trip came as displaced families began returning to devastated neighborhoods following Israel’s troop withdrawals under the truce agreement.
Reports from local and international observers indicate Hamas has started resuming limited governance roles, including overseeing aid distribution and policing.
This apparent reemergence has stirred debate, with some fearing it could undermine ceasefire conditions that require the group to step back from administrative control.
Witkoff’s presence underscores Washington’s concern over Gaza’s future stability. As aid operations intensify and power dynamics shift, the visit highlights the urgent diplomatic challenge of balancing reconstruction, security, and political accountability in a region still on edge.
