Steve Witkoff’s credibility is collapsing.
Qatar and Egypt no longer see him as a trustworthy mediator, and his promises now carry no weight. This is from diplomatic sources.
Why? He gave his word that aid would enter Gaza at scale if Israeli soldier, Edan Alexander (who has US citizenship) were released— and then didn’t deliver on that.
In diplomacy, trust is leverage. Witkoff is quickly losing both.
It doesn’t help him that Netanyahu is bragging he has Trump and Witkoff in his pocket because of his access to their families and advisors.
In fact, it’s pretty clear that Netanyahu is the one sabotaging
