US Eyes Gaza Peace Breakthrough with Trump Plan

New York, Sep 25, 2025 – US envoy Steve Witkoff said Wednesday he expects a breakthrough on Gaza in the coming days after President Donald Trump presented a peace plan to regional countries.

Witkoff, a longtime Trump associate and real estate executive acting as a roving ambassador, told the Concordia summit on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly that the “Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Mideast and Gaza” was shared with Arab and Islamic nations during meetings Tuesday.

“We’re hopeful, and I might say even confident, that in the coming days we’ll be able to announce some sort of breakthrough,” Witkoff said, adding that the plan addresses Israeli concerns and those of neighboring countries.

The announcement comes amid a nearly two-year-long conflict in Gaza, which has devastated the region. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking after a recent trip to Israel, took a more cautious tone, noting Israel’s ongoing massive offensive to seize Gaza City.

Trump and Witkoff have repeatedly expressed optimism about ending the war, while regional tensions and humanitarian concerns continue to grow.

The Trump 21-point plan reportedly outlines measures to address security, humanitarian aid, and regional cooperation, though detailed provisions have not been publicly disclosed. The US administration is actively engaging regional partners to gain support for the proposal.
