Trump envoy Witkoff visits IDF base in northern Gaza as peace deal advances, thousands return home

On Saturday, White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff was seen visiting an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) base in the northern Gaza Strip, as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remained in effect for a second consecutive day.

This photograph was obtained exclusively by Fox News. Witkoff was accompanied by Adm. Brad Cooper, the leader of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), during his visit to the facility.

Thousands of Palestinians returned to their homes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday. One photograph depicted a vast line of people moving north along the territory’s coastline, utilizing vehicles and traveling on foot.

“It is an indescribable feeling; praise be to God,” resident Nabila Basal expressed to Reuters. “We are very, very happy that the war has stopped, and the suffering has ended.”

According to Reuters, Palestinian health authorities reported that 100 bodies have been recovered across the Gaza Strip following the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

One Gaza City resident, 40-year-old Ismail Zayda, said to the news agency that his home is still standing despite the war.

“Thank God my house is still standing,” one individual reportedly mentioned. “But the place is destroyed, my neighbors’ houses are destroyed, entire districts have gone.”

In Khan Younis, resident Ahmed al-Brim told Reuters that, “We went to our area. It was exterminated. We don’t know where we will go after that.”

“We couldn’t get the furniture, or clothes, or anything, not even winter clothes. Nothing is left,” he added.
