U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is set to visit Europe this week for discussions concerning the Israel-Gaza war and related regional matters, a U.S. official confirmed on Tuesday (July 22, 2025). Witkoff is expected to continue efforts toward securing a ceasefire in Gaza. According to Axios, he will leave for Rome on Wednesday and is scheduled to meet Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and a senior Qatari official on Thursday (July 24). Should talks progress positively, Witkoff may then head to Doha later in the week to finalize a potential deal, sources from both the U.S. and Israel indicated.This diplomatic push is part of an international effort led by Qatar and Egypt, with U.S. support to broker a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, amid worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza due to Israel’s military campaign.

Since the war began in October 2023, following a Hamas-led attack that killed 1,200 Israelis and led to 250 hostages, Israeli retaliatory strikes have reportedly killed over 59,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. A previous two-month ceasefire collapsed after Israeli airstrikes killed more than 400 Palestinians on March 18. The conflict has displaced Gaza’s entire population and triggered famine-like conditions. Israel is currently facing allegations of genocide at the International Court of Justice and war crimes at the International Criminal Court—claims it firmly denies.
