MIAMI (Reuters) – The United States’ envoy to the Middle East said on Thursday that President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza was not about evicting Palestinians, and the conversation about Gaza’s future was being shifted towards how to create a better future for Palestinians.
“When the President talks about this, it means he wants to shake up everyone’s thinking, and think about what is compelling and what is the best solution for the Palestinian people,” Steven Witkoff told the FII Institute conference in Miami.
“For instance, do they want to live in a home there, or would they rather have an opportunity to resettle in some sort of better place, to have jobs, upside and financial prospects,” he added.
