President Donald Trump left Washington for the G7 summit, while U.S. and Iranian representatives are holding preliminary talks in Doha ahead of a signing ceremony expected on Friday, Israeli media report.
President Donald Trump has departed Washington en route to the G7 summit, as U.S. and Iranian delegations meet in Doha for preliminary negotiations ahead of the anticipated signing of a U.S.-Iran agreement, Israeli media report this afternoon.
The parallel tracks underscore a decisive week in the diplomatic push: Trump leaves for France as the Iranian team engages with U.S. representatives in Qatar. The Doha talks are described as preparatory discussions before the signing ceremony, which Israeli media sources report is expected on Friday. The specific location for a signing ceremony has not been confirmed, though earlier reports this week indicated preparations for a possible signing in Geneva or another European venue.
As The Zioneer reported overnight, Vice President JD Vance stated that Trump may travel to Geneva for the signing, and Trump himself told Prime Minister Netanyahu he is determined to finalize the agreement. Pakistan's Foreign Minister confirmed on Saturday that the signing would take place on Sunday, but the timeline appears to have shifted: Israeli media now report Friday as the target.
Netanyahu has not been invited to the G7 meetings but has pushed for an urgent meeting with Trump amid concerns over the emerging deal's terms. The White House has not announced any sidelines meeting between the two leaders.
