orders from Putin. Witkoff is one of those people who flits around from place to place, knowing little about any of them, and comes up with agreements that end up resolving no underlying issues but merely have stalemate points in them so that each party ends up still in a "you didn't do this, so we're not doing that" scenario. Diplomacy and conflict resolution by a billionaire real estate mogul may work in commercial real estate but international relations are a different matter.

Witkoff has stated he thinks Putin is a "great guy". Tells us all we need to know. He likely has high praise for MBS as well despite the butchering of Kashoggi. Witkoff is the type who adores the authoritarian strongman and considers their brutal actions to not be a problem but instead sees them as decisive actions to be praised.
