Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, cautioned Hamas that the beginning of a truce with Israel will include demilitarization and an exodus from Gaza.
The first phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was over a week ago without any deal on a second phase. While Hamas released 29 hostages under the most recent deal, another dozen remain in captivity, including one American. Witkoff scoffed Monday at a proposal from Hamas to expel the Israeli military from Gaza on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom.
