US special envoy Steve Witkoff will meet on Wednesday in Istanbul with a delegation of senior Hamas officials led by Khalil al-Hayya to discuss efforts to maintain the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza, an Arab diplomat told The Times of Israel.
It will be Witkoff’s second meeting with Hayya after the special envoy along with fellow top adviser to US President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, met with senior members of Hamas’s ceasefire negotiating team hours before an agreement was inked in Egypt on October 9.
That meeting was said to have been critical in bringing the deal across the finish line, with Trump’s advisers assuring the Hamas leaders that the US would hold Israel to the terms of the deal as long as the terror group kept its side of the bargain.
In a joint interview alongside Kushner last month, Witkoff said he managed to connect with Hayya over their shared experience of losing a son.
Witkoff’s late son, Andrew, died at the age of 22 of an opioid overdose. Hayya’s son, Himam al-Hayya, was killed in the Israeli airstrike on Hamas headquarters in Doha on September 9, which failed to kill any of the senior Hamas leaders targeted in the strike.

What a waste of time. Name one time that Hamas has stuck by a negotiated deal for more than two weeks.
the only excuse for meeting with the blood-thirsty Fakestinian terrorists is to dispatch them to Jahannam (Moslem Hell).
and it is a terrible embarrassment to America to have our public officials “meeting with” Fakestinian terrorist murder gangsters.
this stinks, drags America through the sewer
just the optics alone make one want to vomit
