A delegation of senior Qatari officials held a three-hour meeting with U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the ongoing Gaza ceasefire and hostage negotiations, a source familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel.

The meeting has not been publicly confirmed by U.S. or Qatari officials, but comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts to secure a deal between Israel and Hamas, with Washington, Doha, and Cairo acting as key mediators.

According to the source, discussions focused on advancing stalled negotiations, following Hamas’s rejection of Israel’s latest withdrawal proposal. Israel is reportedly preparing an updated map for review.
