United States Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday to discuss the next phase of the Gaza peace plan, the disarmament of Hamas, and efforts to recover the remains of the last Israeli hostage from Gaza. Their visit follows talks in the United Arab Emirates involving United States, Ukrainian, and Russian officials about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Additionally, the head of United States Central Command, General Brad Cooper, will also visit Israel to meet with senior officials regarding potential United States intervention in Iranian protests and the Iranian government's response. The visit coincides with the movement of significant United States military assets to the Middle East, as the United States administration closely monitors developments in Iran.
