Trump team visits disputed Gaza aid distribution site to investigate

President Donald Trump’s Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff made his first visit to an aid distribution site in Gaza, jointly supported by the United States and Israel — and accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.

(Background) US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visits the fifth-century Church of St George in the Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, on July 19, 2025. In the villages and communities around Taybeh, Palestinian authorities have reported that settlers had killed three people and damaged or destroyed multiple water sources in the past two weeks alone. The July 7 arson attack on the remains of the Church of Saint George, which date back to the 5th century, was the last straw for many villagers, who blame Israeli settlers for a spate of recent attacks.
