"Now, me to you, I know what it's going to take to get a peace deal done: Donetsk and maybe a land swap somewhere."
"But I'm saying instead of talking like that, let's talk more hopefully because I think we're going to get to a deal here."
"I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you're just, you're really glad to have seen it happen.

The recordings indicate Witkoff expected substantial space and discretion to negotiate a deal. Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick warned the Trump administration that secret side meetings create serious problems and urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to lead negotiations.
