GOP fundraiser calls for Witkoff’s firing over Putin, Hamas comments

by Filip Timotija - 03/26/25 7:50 PM ET

GOP fundraiser Eric Levine called for President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to be fired over the diplomat’s recent comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin, arguing the president’s close friend was “duped” by the Palestinian militant group Hamas during hostage negotiations.

Levine, who previously raised money for Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) short-lived 2024 presidential campaign, wrote in a Wednesday email reviewed by The Hill that Witkoff is an “embarrassment to country and the President he serves.”

“He should do the honorable thing and resign. Failing that, he should be summarily fired,” Levine said in the email to his network.

Levine, who is a board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), was speaking in his personal capacity.
