Steve Witkoff
The release of the first seven Israeli hostages brought the U.S. president to tears, said his Mideast envoy.
A senior Republican congressional staffer accused presidential envoy Steve Witkoff of “lifting pressure on Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.”
Steve Witkoff plans to visit the region often in the coming weeks to keep the ceasefire deal moving forward.
The vice president-elect said that Trump will enable “the Israelis to knock out the last couple of battalions of Hamas and their leadership.”
An Israeli delegation is headed to Doha to advance the indirect negotiations with Hamas.
The president-elect repeated his stark warning that “all hell will break loose in the Middle East” if the captives are not released before he takes office.
Talks between Witkoff and Mohammed involved making a diplomatic push toward a historic peace deal with the Jewish state.
