Witkoff In His Own Words
Is Witkoff breaking new ground or repeating Biden's errors?

Witkoff, whatever his flaws, is far more honest than his PR men on X or Capitol Hill, and has never denied that he was just implementing the policies of the Biden administration.
What new solutions has Witkoff come up with? The Obama ones. Negotiate with terrorists. Pretend they're reasonable. Give them what they want. Act confused when it doesn't work out.
Figuring out what the terrorists want and trying to give it to them were the signature diplomatic policies of the Carter, Clinton and Biden administrations. Those are the "old-school globalist solutions," which is why President Donald Trump is such a breath of fresh air and Witkoff isn't.
Whatever Witkoff's agendas are, he's in over his head, and he outsourced his negotiations to everyone from the Biden team to the Islamic terror state of Qatar, with whom he's done business and whose terrorist leaders he has repeatedly praised. Knowing nothing about the Middle East hasn't given him a fresh perspective: it just made him an easy dupe for everyone who does.
It's an honest admission. Witkoff's defenders, who pretend that he's a genius shaking up diplomacy by appeasing Islamic terrorist states, could at least try to be as honest as him.
Steve Witkoff, the real estate tycoon turned international negotiator, has become the subject of controversy with some conservatives attacking him and others rushing out to defend him.
"In a world left in chaos thanks to Joe Biden, Steve Witkoff is the diplomat America needs right now," US Senator Jim Banks claimed this month.
Tucker Carlson hailed Witkoff as "the most effective American diplomat in a generation."
But Witkoff, whatever his flaws, is far more honest than his PR men on X or Capitol Hill, and has never denied that he was just implementing the policies of the Biden administration.
In January, at Mar-a-Lago, Witkoff stated that "the Biden administration is the tip of the spear" in the Hamas negotiations. Biden has "got a solid team, and I appreciated that they're allowing us to be collaborative."
"I think Steve Witkoff has been a terrific partner in this," then Secretary of State Blinken praised him on MSNBC.
