As he concluded, Witkoff expressed the aim for those present to leave invigorated and united. “Let us leave here inspired, emboldened and united, ready to build a future where truth prevails, peace reigns and the spirit of our people soars,” he remarked. He left the audience with a hopeful outlook, affirming that they will collectively write the next chapter of hope in the region.
