US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff meets with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem,

Witkoff, appointed by President Donald Trump as his senior envoy to the Middle East, arrives amid intensified focus on advancing a U.S.-backed plan aimed at ending the long-running conflict between Israel and Hamas and stabilizing the region. The visit is expected to include high-level talks with Israel’s military chief of staff, Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, and other key decision-makers, reinforcing strategic coordination between Washington and Jerusalem. The trip comes at a time of heightened concerns over Iran’s regional posture and renewed international discussions about nuclear diplomacy. Israeli officials say Witkoff’s mission will focus on deepening cooperation on security, humanitarian access, and the next phases of ceasefire implementation. This engagement reflects U.S. determination to maintain close dialogue with Israeli leadership as both sides seek pathways toward reduced hostilities and broader regional stability.
