US Envoy Waltz Travels to Jordan, Israel for Gaza, Security Talks

U.S. Special Envoy for Gaza, Michael Waltz, will visit Jordan and Israel this week for high-level talks. The discussions will focus on regional security and a plan for the future of Gaza. The U.S. State Department announced the trip on Tuesday. Officials said the visit aims to advance a specific American proposal for the territory. “This visit underscores the United States’ commitment to advancing regional stability and implementing President Trump’s 20-Point Plan for Gaza,” a department statement read. The detailed plan, announced earlier this year, outlines potential steps for Gaza’s governance, reconstruction, and security. Envoy Waltz is expected to discuss these points with Jordanian and Israeli leaders. The meetings come during a period of ongoing tension in the region. The U.S. hopes these talks will build support for its proposed framework.
