Steve Witkoff: “The president is curious as to why (Iran) hasn’t capitulated. Why, under this pressure with the amount of naval power over there, haven’t they come to us and said we profess we don’t want a weapon” pic.twitter.com/FuRYqSamkV — Open Source Intel (@Osint613) February 22, 2026 This confirms what I’ve long suspected: that the […]
‘Witkoff brought Trump a message from Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi to persuade him to postpone the strike’
For whose interests is Witkoff working? Does he have any idea of the beliefs or goals of the people with whom he is dealing in Iran? Can you imagine Hitler and Himmler sending a message to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1944, asking him to postpone the D-Day invasion? Can you imagine FDR complying? It is […]
Witkoff: ‘We Can Show Hamas Disarmament Is the Right Thing for Long-Term Peace’
The Gaza Board of Peace includes Hamas State Sponsors. As the great Robert Spencer summed up the original announcement of a ‘ceasefire’ by quoting Jeremiah, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.” Three months later there’s still no peace, but in the typical fashion of the ‘peace process’ involving terrorists, the process is moving anyway with the […]
US announces start of second phase of Gaza ceasefire, including creation of committee of Palestinian technocrats
The Biden administration advanced the Palestinian Authority (PA) as a partner for peace with Israel, although the PA is no different from Hamas, with the same goal of “resistance” to obliterate the Jewish state from the River to the Sea. The PA also funds a “pay-for-slay” program, in which jihad terrorists and the families of […]
The Trump Administration’s Plans for Gaza
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have been busy planning Gaza’s future — when the hurly-burly’s done, when the battle’s lost and won — and they see the Strip as a “glittering metropolis,” both a tourist destination and a center for high-end high-tech businesses. If this sounds crazy, it’s because it is crazy. More on their […]
Gaza’s Future as a ‘Glittering Metropolis’
The madness in Washington continues. Now we learn that the Trump administration foresees a glorious future for Gaza, which will become both a Club Mediterranée tourist destination and a high-tech hub. More about this dreamy delusion can be found here: “Trump admin. pitches ‘Project Sunrise’ to turn Gaza into ‘futuristic coastal destination’ – WSJ,” Jerusalem […]
That Was Quick: Hamas Tells Witkoff the Ceasefire Is Over and It’s Ready to Fight
New in PJ Media: To the surprise of no sentient being on planet Earth, Hamas has declared that it is about to end the ceasefire in Gaza and go back to trying to murder Israeli civilians and destroy the Jewish state. The Jerusalem Post reported Saturday that “amid Hamas attempts to breach Gaza’s Yellow Line and subsequent […]
Steve Witkoff: Hamas Promised Me It Would Disarm
Steve Witkoff, our chief Middle East negotiator, has now said, with surprise and disappointment, that “Hamas promised me it would disarm.” But now the terror group says it won’t disarm. My goodness, Hamas wouldn’t have been fooling you, would it, Mr. Witkoff? Steve Witkoff may be a whiz at making real estate deals in New […]
Witkoff’s ‘Palestinian’ Advisor Claims Hamas Only Has to Give Up ‘Heavy Weapons’
Hamas gets to keep its guns. Will only turn over “heavy weapons” to a force that includes Hamas. Disarmament is already a farce. The so-called ‘peace deal’ was really the same old hostages-for-terrorists deal accompanied by a partial Israeli withdrawal and Hamas takeover. There’s no plan, as J.D. Vance already admitted, for an actual disarmament […]
Witkoff Expressed Condolences to Hamas Leader
“You have to find a way to help the Palestinian people thrive and do better” Despite the recent settlement, Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have significant financial interests involving Qatar, the state sponsor of Hamas, went on 60 Minutes. They did it because they knew they would find a friendly audience to […]
