President-elect Trump has appointed a longtime ally, New York businessman Steven Witkoff, as his Special Envoy to the Middle East.
Witkoff is a real estate investor, landlord, and the founder of the Witkoff Group, which he started in 1977.
In his announcement, Trump said that Witkoff would be an ‘unrelenting Voice for PEACE’ in the highly-contentious region.
‘Steve is a Highly Respected Leader in Business and Philanthropy, who has made every project and community he has been involved with stronger and more prosperous,’ the announcement on Tuesday evening said. ‘Steve will be an unrelenting Voice for PEACE, and make us all proud.’
