United States envoy Steve Witkoff met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday, marking their second meeting in under two weeks. The talks occurred shortly after the reopening of Gaza's Rafah crossing with Egypt, a move reportedly encouraged by United States envoys in previous discussions. While details of the agenda were not disclosed, the meeting comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts in the region, including expected talks between the United States and Iran later in the week. Regional actors such as Turkiye, Egypt, Oman, and Qatar are also involved in facilitating these diplomatic initiatives.
