Sources familiar with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu trip to the US told Israel Hayom on Monday that the main topic for discussion between Netanyahu and Trump is formulating follow-up measures on the Iranian issue. While Witkoff is overseeing the negotiations and developments in Doha, Netanyahu is expected to focus instead on Iran following the joint effort to counter its nuclear program.
It has also emerged that peace with Syria is not on the agenda for this visit or in the coming weeks.
As for the situation in Doha, negotiations are set to resume over the three contentious issues: the withdrawal of IDF troops from the Gaza Strip, the distribution of humanitarian aid, and the mechanism for ending the war or talks aimed at ending it. Hamas has rejected the language in the Qatari proposal concerning each of these issues.
Israeli officials maintain that, despite the talks being described as "constructive," Israel has exhausted its flexibility on each of the three issues. They noted that Israel already agreed to changes proposed by Qatar to the updated Witkoff framework currently on the table.
