As officials with Hamas say they will respond "soon" to President Trump's ceasefire proposal to end Israel's nearly two-year war on Gaza, brokered with Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, we look at the many other deals Witkoff and his family are involved with. A New York Times investigation reveals that when Witkoff, a real estate developer and longtime friend of Trump, began his new position as a diplomat in the Middle East, his son Alex took over his company, the Witkoff Group. Since then, not only has the Witkoff Group continued to ink major deals with investors in the Gulf Arab states, but the elder Witkoff has not even fully divested from the company. "There is no question that these relationships and these allegiances carry over between business and politics. … [T]he Witkoffs and other people in the administration may or may not be profiting personally from them while they are trying to do this work," says Debra Kamin, who reported the story. We also speak to Kamin about turmoil in the Department of Housing and Urban Development under Trump.
