"President [Trump] wants to see an overall peace. It's not just about Gaza; it's about how this might percolate into all other areas in the Middle East, and what it's going to achieve, maybe even percolate into Russia and Ukraine," he told Fox News in an interview, commenting on the plan proposed by the US authorities to resolve the conflict in the Palestinian enclave.

Witkoff added that Trump's initiative is supported by both the Persian Gulf countries and European states.
