Witkoff and the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, visited an aid site in Gaza run by the controversial Israel and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) on Friday, as the United Nations said that over 1,373 Palestinians have been killed while seeking food since the end of May, including 859 at GHF sites.

Hamas appears to have forced Israeli hostage Evyatar David to dig his own grave in a newly released clip Friday.

An Israeli hostage held by Hamas in Gaza was seen digging what he described as his own grave in a new video released by the group. The footage shows the hostage, visibly starved and shirtless, inside a narrow underground tunnel.
