Trump’s incoming Mideast envoy visited region recently
President-elect Trump’s incoming Middle East envoy recently visited the region. The Trump administration is not officially in office, but Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff was in Israel and Qatar for high-level talks on landing a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza. He met separately in recent weeks with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Qatar’s prime minister. A U-S official said Witkoff has kept in contact with President Biden’s foreign policy team as the two administrations have agreed to coordinate efforts to free the hostages who remain in captivity in Gaza.
