US envoy Steve Witkoff plans to visit Gaza tomorrow
US envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff has met Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
The US envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff says he had a "productive" meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, as international concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza grows. Witkoff will visit Gaza tomorrow alongside US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, to inspect food distribution sites. We speak to a conservative pundit in the US about growing unease over US support for Israel in Trump's MAGA base.
The first Gazan child to be treated in the UK for war injuries has arrived in London from Egypt. Majid Al-Shagnoobi's mother says his lower face was blown off by an Israeli tank shell in February last year whilst he was out searching for food. His treatment will be funded by private donors.
And the children's author Allan Ahlberg has died aged 87. Michael Rosen tells us what made his writing so special.
