Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to both Gaza and Israel on Saturday, a trip that comes just before the highly anticipated hostage release that is a key part of President Donald Trump ‘s peace deal to end the war.

Trump brokered a ceasefire in the war between Hamas and Israel earlier this week, the negotiations of which Witkoff and Kushner played a key role in as the trio secured what was thought to be an elusive prospect. Now, as the world awaits the release of the remaining hostages, which is set for Monday, the pair set off for the Middle East early to in part assess that Israel was in “compliance” with the first phase of the ceasefire, as well as give remarks at a massive rally for the hostages.
