U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff visited Saudi Arabia on 28/1/2025.
During his visit, Witkoff revealed his efforts to shape a “broad Middle East agreement”.
Witkoff views the initiative as a tool to address key political and economic challenges in the region, with a primary focus on the reconstruction of Gaza, the eventual normalization of ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and a comprehensive solution for the West Bank.
The following note offers key insights on the Middle East agreement designed under Witkoff's leadership, which promises to redefine regional dynamics and move away from traditional approaches to Palestinian sovereignty.
The note also highlights the U.S. incentives and pressure cards on Israel and GCC countries to accept the agreement.
