White House Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and former Trump adviser Jared Kushner spoke in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square as the Israel-Hamas ceasefire begins.

U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, along with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, spoke at Hostages Square in Israel during a rally. Witkoff and Kushner visited Gaza on Oct. 11 as postwar planning ramped up.

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s address in Tel Aviv on Saturday was marred by an irate crowd and a bumbling delivery. Wifkoff was joined by Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner—who hold no official positions within the Trump administration—for a speech marking the expected release of the 20 hostages believed to still be alive in Gaza.

At a moving Tel Aviv event, attendees booed Steve Witkoff for crediting PM Netanyahu for the hostages’ release. Observers called the reaction “leftist and shameful,” and not reflective of the families or the nation.

Steve Witkoff's speech at Hostages Square in Israel was interrupted several times on Saturday, with the crowd of hundreds of thousands booing loudly every time he mentioned Benjamin Netanyahu
