Trump envoy Witkoff hails Gaza plan as having ‘widespread support’

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has told Fox News that he is both “very optimistic” and “hopeful” about the new proposal put forward by Trump to end the Gaza war, even if there are “some details to work out”.

“A new government is going to come in, and that will be, in large part, Palestinians, governing Palestinians,” Witkoff said, adding that the “new government” will have a “lot to do”, including getting “a security force in there”.

Witkoff said that he had just come from discussions with a country that may be involved in providing security forces, but also added, “I think you can’t withdraw altogether until you get the security forces in there.”

The US negotiator also said that he had been “working all weekend” on the proposal alongside Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Witkoff said he thought that the “initial reaction” from Hamas sounded “positive… for a group that hasn’t really had time to study our plan”, and that the proposal already has “widespread support from all of the Gulf Coast Arab countries… and the Europeans”.


All the support from former colonial powers and corrupt gulf coast Arab states that want to go back to the status quo and get the genocide out of the news cycle.

There is nothing in the plan addressing the borders of a Palestinian state, its sovereignty nor self governance. Only reforms under 'international' oversight while changing one letter in IDF to ISF to give the occupation 'international' support.

As long as reforms in Israel are not on the table, nothing can change. Trump and Blair leading the so called 'peace board' and ISF is merely an extension of Zionist occupation. 

This is why the genocide conventions were adopted. Enslaving a population through starvation, making ending the starvation seem like a peace deal. It's colonialism 101.
