Witkoff says he thinks a Lebanon-Israel 'peace treaty' is 'possible'

U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff has said that “peace” between Lebanon and Israel is “possible.”

“I think Lebanon could normalize with Israel, literally normalize, meaning a peace treaty with the two countries. That’s really possible,” Witkoff said in an interview on The Tucker Carlson Show.

“Syria, too, the indications are that Jolani (Syrian interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa) is a different person than he once was. And people do change,” Witkoff added.

“Imagine if Lebanon normalizes, Syria normalizes, and the Saudis sign a normalization treaty with Israel because there’s a peace in Gaza. They must have that as a, without question, as a prerequisite. That’s a condition precedent to Saudi normalizing. But now you’d begin to have a GCC that all work together. I mean, that would be. It would be epic,” the U.S. official went on to say.
