Trump Envoys Hold Hamas Meet-and-Greet at Four Seasons: Peace or Spa Day?
Picture this: On a chill Wednesday night at 11 pm in Sharm el-Sheikh, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff trade their usual jobs for diplomats-for-a-night, crashing a villa party with Hamas leaders led by Khalil al-Hayya, a guy who’s dodging Israeli lead like it’s Black Friday rush. Fresh from Trump’s Oval Office thumbs-up the day before, they stroll into this Red Sea resort showdown with Egyptian, Turkish, and Qatari bosses in tow. Witkoff casually pitches that hostages are now 'more liability than asset,' probably the nicest HR talk ever. After 45 minutes of back-and-forth, an Egyptian spy chief — yes, real deal spy — strolls out with the big nod, confirming a deal as if closing on a house. All this haute diplomacy, complete with a late-night Qatari nudge about handshake power, makes Netflix’s most dramatic reunions look amateur. Who knew Gaza peace talks could be part politics, part exclusive villa sleepover?
