Witkoff: “We can’t rebuild Gaza [for it to again become] a welfare system.” True no more terrorist affiliated UNRWA
“We need real elections in Gaza… We need a real security force there…

If Israel thinks they’re going to have a problem in Gaza because Hamas is going to be there long-term, this is never going to end,”

However, Witkoff did reiterate the Trump administration’s policy on Hamas. “A terrorist organization cannot govern Gaza – that is unacceptable to Israel.
What is possible, however, is for them to disarm. Then they can stay for a while and even be politically involved.”

“They need to demilitarize, and then they might also be politically involved in Gaza,” he said while discussing Hamas’s rationale and goals for negotiations.
