U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff on Tuesday backed Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, arguing that a better life is not necessarily tied to a given piece of land.
In an interview with Fox News, Witkoff emphasized that peace means improving financial conditions and opportunities rather than remaining in a war-torn region.
“Peace in the region means a better life for the Palestinians. A better life is not necessarily tied to the physical space that you are in today,” he said.
“A better life is about better opportunity, better financial conditions, better aspirations for you and your family. That doesn’t occur because you get to pitch a tent in the Gaza Strip and you’re surrounded by 30,000 munitions that could go off at any moment,” Witkoff continued.
