U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said Saturday that progress was being made in implementing the Gaza peace plan put forward by President Donald Trump.
"The first phase has yielded progress, including expanded humanitarian assistance, the return of hostage bodies, partial force withdrawals, and a reduction in hostilities," Witkoff wrote on X, a day after exploratory talks with representatives of Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye in Miami.
The U.S. also joined the trio in urging parties in the Gaza cease-fire, which came into effect on Oct. 10, to uphold their obligations and exercise restraint.
"We reaffirm our full commitment to the entirety of the President's 20-point peace plan and call on all parties to uphold their obligations, exercise restraint, and cooperate with monitoring arrangements," said Witkoff.
Their meeting came amid continuing strains on the agreement.
