Trump's envoy Witkoff to meet with Hamas chief Hayya: Report
The New York Times reported on Friday that Steve Witkoff, who is US President Donald Trump's peace envoy, is intending to meet directly with Hamas chief Khalil el-Hayya "soon" to discuss the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire.
No date or location was disclosed.
Witkoff told the programme 60 Minutes on CBS that he and Hayya had found common personal ground during the early October negotiations, because they were both fathers who had lost their sons.
Witkoff's son died of an opioid overdose in 2011.
Hayya's son was killed by an unprecedented Israeli air strike on the Qatari capital Doha, which Hayya himself survived.
