Witkoff and Trump discussed plans for US to increase role in aid to Gaza, Axios reports

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump discussed plans for Washington to significantly increase its role in providing humanitarian aid to Gaza, Axios reported on Tuesday, citing two U.S. officials and an Israeli official.

The report said the discussions took place in a meeting between Witkoff and Trump on Monday at the White House, adding Israel supported the increased U.S. role.

Axios cited a U.S. official as saying the Trump administration will "take over" management of the humanitarian effort in Gaza because Israel is not handling it adequately.
