Trump Aide Witkoff to Meet Netanyahu, Iran FM in Turkey Amid Diplomatic Push

  • US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff will visit Israel to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials.
  • Witkoff's visit is part of a broader diplomatic effort by the Trump administration to advance Russia-Ukraine war talks and explore communication channels with Iran.
  • He will travel to Abu Dhabi after Israel for discussions with Russian and Ukrainian representatives on Wednesday and Thursday.
  • Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi held discussions with foreign ministers of Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia regarding the issue.
