Insiders from the Trump administration express concerns over special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, claiming he is not equipped to handle negotiations with Iran, Hamas, or Russia. Criticisms include his misjudgment regarding a hostage deal and a misunderstanding of the motivations behind these entities, as noted by former Israeli security officials. With ongoing nuclear talks between the US and Iran, there are fears that Witkoff’s overwhelming responsibilities may hinder effective negotiations, further emphasized by skepticism from former officials about the efficacy of his discussions.
