White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in a Fox News interview that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will attend the upcoming negotiation session in Doha. According to Leavitt, technical-level talks will be held on the sidelines of the high-level discussions, underscoring the administration's push for a diplomatic track.
Leavitt stated that President Trump wants the peace process to advance. The involvement of both Witkoff — the administration's special envoy for the Middle East — and Kushner, a former senior adviser with deep ties to the region, signals senior White House engagement.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this month, the U.S. has pursued multiple diplomatic channels including an IRGC–CENTCOM crisis mechanism staffed from both sides via Qatar. The Doha talks are the latest in a series of White House-led initiatives to broker a framework agreement.
