The source said Hamas negotiators would likely return to the Qatari capital Doha for more talks soon
DOHA/BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON - Donald Trump's Middle East envoy has traveled to Qatar and Israel to kickstart the US president-elect's diplomatic push to help reach a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal before he takes office on Jan. 20, a source briefed on the talks told Reuters.
The meetings also signal that the Gulf state of Qatar has resumed as a key mediator after suspending its role last month, the source said.Biden's aides have been aware of Witkoff's contacts with Israeli, Qatari and other Middle East officials and understand that Trump's envoy supports a Gaza deal along the lines the administration has been pursuing, a US official said.
The Biden administration does not see a need to coordinate with Witkoff because it regards his discussions with regional players as largely an effort to learn the issues rather than negotiations, the official said. Sheikh Mohammed traveled to Vienna on Nov. 24 to meet the director of Israel's Mossad spy agency David Barnea, who has led Israel's talks with Qatar over the last 14 months.
