U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, announced that he will fly to the Qatari capital Doha Tuesday to negotiate a deal between Israel and Hamas that would lead to the release of the hostages . At a joint press conference with Trump, he said that he "hopes there will be good news about the deal by the time of the inauguration on January 20." Trump repeated the call he has made several times, saying that "if the hostages are not returned by the time I take office, there will be consequences from Hell. That will not be good for Hamas, and frankly, for no one."
