My Take
What fascinates me about Steve Witkoff is the sheer improbability of his second act. Most diplomats spend decades climbing foreign-service ladders; Witkoff spent his learning how deals actually close, in New York real estate, where leverage and reading the other side are survival skills. Whether you cheer or wince at his Middle East envoy role, I find the experiment genuinely interesting: can transactional instincts honed in property negotiations translate to statecraft with figures like Putin? The Bronx-born lawyer turned investor turned envoy reminds me that history sometimes hands its hardest negotiations to outsiders, and I would not bet against his stamina at the table.
