The US envoy on Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has reiterated the stance that Hamas should not be a part of a future government in Gaza.
According to AFP, Witkoff said Trump had succeeded in “now encouraging other people in the Middle East — Middle Eastern world — to present proactive proposals for what we might consider”.
“I think there’s going to be some action. It could be jointly with the Israelis,” he said.
“It’s unclear right now, but I think Hamas has an opportunity to act reasonably, to do what’s right, and then to walk out. They’re not going to be a part of a government there,” he said.
