President Trump's Middle East peace envoy, Steve Witkoff, is preparing for a summit with Hamas's chief negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya, according to sources familiar with his plans. The meeting is expected to address the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza and reflects the White House's willingness to maintain dialogue with Hamas, despite its controversial status. The timing of the meeting remains uncertain and may still change. Witkoff and al-Hayya have previously met in Egypt, where a significant ceasefire and hostage exchange deal was brokered, with Jared Kushner also playing a key role. Witkoff has also expressed personal condolences to the Hamas negotiator following the loss of his son in a recent airstrike.
