Unbiased?

I imagine there would be an outcry if President Trump had appointed an Arab-American as his Special Envoy to Israel. Is it surprising then that there seems to have been no reaction to him anointing Steve Witkoff? Nick

Why not wait until Witkoff actual report comes out before making a judgement.  Or is it his religion you are most upset about?

Here’s a report from Sky News about the “sanitised” visit of Mr Witkoff to Gaza:https://news.sky.com/story/steve-witkoffs-sanitised-gaza-tour-snubbed-us-doctor-who-said-people-being-shot-like-rabbits-13406193Nick

The only thing I know about Steve Witkoff is that he owns a "real estate development firm".  But what does surprise me is the lack of information on the outcome of his visit to Gaza.

If you are referring to Steve Witkoff’s Jewish heritage, why not say so openly?  The phrase, ‘willing to wound but afraid to strike’ comes to mind. Is there any evidence that Witkoff’s background has led to bias in his dealings as Special Envoy? If anything, the evidence points in the other direction. He was instrumental in forging a ceasefire and hostage exchange earlier this year by applying pressure on Netanyahu.
