Witkoff, a real estate friend of Trump who has become his roving ambassador, said the US president shared ideas when meeting with a group of Arab and Islamic countries on Tuesday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
"We presented what we call the Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Mideast and Gaza," Witkoff said.
"I think it addresses Israeli concerns as well as the concerns of all the neighbours in the region," he told the Concordia summit on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
"We're hopeful, and I might say even confident, that in the coming days we'll be able to announce some sort of breakthrough."
Witkoff and Trump have repeatedly voiced hope for ending the devastating, nearly two-year war.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was more sombre on a trip last week to Israel, which has launched a massive new offensive to seize Gaza City.
