But asked to elaborate on the US incentives provided to Israel, Witkoff suffices with:
“The incentives were to get these people home.” “I don’t want to discuss promises that were made.

Witkoff says, the agreement speaks for itself, but I think that:
1. everyone is well motivated to negotiate in a good faith way
2. to see if we can resolve all of this amicably
3. and in a peaceful way and in a diplomatic way

Asked whether he believes Israel will withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor border stretch between Gaza and Egypt, Witkoff avoids answering directly. “That’s ultimately up to Israel,”

“The Philadelphi Corridor obviously has commercial significance to Egypt — as a trading partner — and also to the people who are living in Gaza. They’ve got to get materials in, but there are security issues around it, so we have to solve that,” Witkoff adds.
