The Trump team should be asking hard questions about who in the team is leaking materials anonymously and whether they want to be in the business of ‘nation-building’ in Gaza.

Presidential teams have all sorts of players on them. And much as some might have hoped that after the first term, the Trump team would be ‘clean’, that’s proving not to be the case.

The adoption of Biden’s disastrous surrendering to terrorist deal by Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy, appears to have saved Hamas.

And we’re getting all sorts of leaks to the media by people supposedly on the Trump team blasting Israel and propping up Islamic terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon.

The latest one is an NBC News story touting Witkoff and a larger ‘nation-building’ agenda for Gaza.

President-elect Donald Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, is considering a visit to the war-torn Gaza Strip as part of his efforts to keep a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas on track, according to a transition official with direct knowledge of the ceasefire process.

Witkoff appears to have had his activities directed by the Emir of Qatar. He appears to have had past financial dealings with the Islamic terrorist state which was also linked to 9.11. And Qatar is a state sponsor of Hamas.

But a basic question is who is this unnamed ‘transition official’ laying out an elaborate agenda for Witkoff who sounds more like an Obama or Biden official.

“Remember, there’s a lot of people, radicals, fanatics, not just from the Hamas side, from the right wing of the Israeli side, who are absolutely incentivized to blow this whole deal up,” the transition official said.

What kind of Trump transition-official rants about the “right-wing of the Israeli side”?

And pushes nation-building in Gaza.

At the same time, Witkoff is working to achieve long-term stability for the Israelis and 2 million displaced Palestinians, the path to which runs through the three phases of the deal reached this past week…

While managing the current phase of the deal and negotiating the next, Trump and his team also are contending with longer-term solutions.

“If we don’t help the Gazans, if we don’t make their life better, if we don’t give them a sense of hope, there’s going to be a rebellion,” the transition official said.

This is not what anyone outside Dearborn voted for. Trump voters don’t want America going back to the same failed Obama policies and trying to do nation-building in Gaza or making “their lives better”.

Some individual or faction in the Trump team however is aggressively pushing this and has an extensive agenda laid out to get right back to nation-building in a terrorist state.

The Trump team should be asking hard questions about who in the team is leaking materials anonymously to the media and whether they want to be in the business of this faction’s agenda of ‘nation-building’ in Gaza.
