Middle East Envoy Witkoff Admits He Was ‘Duped’ by Hamas in Ceasefire Talks

17

President Trump made a very poor decision in appointing Steve Witkoff as Middle East envoy. Former U.S ambassador to Israel David Friedman would have been a much better pick. Steve Witkoff clearly has little understanding about the Middle East. His statements on Iran, Qatar, Syria, and Hamas have been ill-informed, naive, and asinine. The people who care about Israel should be very concerned about Witkoff. Hopefully Rubio, Waltz, Huckabee, and Hegseth will be strong voices of reason with the POTUS.

As bad as Witkoff is on Hamas, he’s worse on Qatar. One of Trump’s worst picks.

“I certainly hope we get everybody back to the table and get the hostages home,” Witkoff said on Fox News Sunday. “I thought we had a deal — an acceptable deal. I even thought we had an approval from Hamas.”

“Maybe that’s just me getting duped,” he admitted. “I thought we were there, and evidently, we weren’t.”

Witkoff reaffirmed America’s commitment to Israel, making it clear where the responsibility for the conflict lies.

“The US stands with the State of Israel,” he declared. “We need to be clear who the aggressor is here, and that is Hamas.”
