Trump's point man in the region called the terrorist group's latest moves "disappointing and completely unacceptable"
(May 27, 2025 / JNS) U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff on Monday criticized Hamas for its latest actions in the ongoing hostage and ceasefire negotiations, calling them “disappointing and completely unacceptable.”
His remarks come as the United States intensifies efforts to broker a new agreement aimed at ending hostilities in Gaza and securing the release of Israeli hostages.
“What I have seen from Hamas is disappointing and completely unacceptable,” Witkoff told Barak Ravid of Axios, rejecting the terrorist organization’s claim that it had accepted a U.S. proposal.
