Two of President Donald Trump's top lieutenants in the Middle East - special envoy Steve Witkoff and Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee - will travel to Gaza on Friday to inspect food deliveries.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared the updates on Thursday, detailing that Witkoff and Huckabee had a 'very productive meeting' with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day.

During his trip to Scotland on Monday, Trump broke with Netanyahu when he noted, alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, that there was 'real starvation' in the Palestinian territory of Gaza.

Netanyahu has denied that Israel is waging a starvation campaign against Palestinian civilians living in Gaza amid the current war with Hamas.

Leavitt said the meeting with Netanyahu was on the topic of food and aid deliveries into Gaza.
