US envoys meet Netanyahu as Israel bombs Gaza

Washington [US], January 26: United States envoy Steve Witkoff says he and his colleague Jared Kushner have held "constructive" talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as Israel continues its deadly bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip.
In a short statement on Sunday, Witkoff said the "positive" discussion focused on "the continued progress and implementation planning for Phase 2 of President Trump's 20-Point Plan for Gaza", which the US and Israel are advancing in "close partnership".
Witkoff added "broader regional issues" were also discussed in the meeting on Saturday, a likely reference to heightened tensions between the US and Iran.
Israel, in the meantime, continues bombarding Gaza despite agreeing to a ceasefire in its genocidal war, committing near-daily violations of the October 10 agreement brokered by the US. Medical sources at al-Shifa Hospital in the city said at least one person had been killed and 15 wounded throughout the day, Mahmoud added. (Agencies)
