- “We presented what we call the Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Mideast and Gaza,” Witkoff said
- “I think it addresses Israeli concerns as well as the concerns of all the neighbors in the region“
NEW YORK: US envoy Steve Witkoff said Wednesday he expected a breakthrough related to Gaza in the coming days, saying President Donald Trump had presented a plan to regional countries.
Witkoff, a real estate friend of Trump who has become his roving ambassador, said the US president shared ideas when meeting with a group of Arab and Islamic countries Tuesday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
“We presented what we call the Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Mideast and Gaza,” Witkoff said.
“I think it addresses Israeli concerns as well as the concerns of all the neighbors in the region,” he told the Concordia summit on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
“We’re hopeful, and I might say even confident, that in the coming days we’ll be able to announce some sort of breakthrough.”
Witkoff and Trump have repeatedly voiced hope for ending the devastating nearly two-year war.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was more somber on a trip last week to Israel, which has launched massive new offensive to seize Gaza City.
