President Joe Biden's top Middle East adviser, Brett McGurk, recently engaged in discussions with senior Qatari leaders in Doha regarding ongoing efforts to finalize a cease-fire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. The talks also touched upon the Qatari prime minister's meeting with Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian following his visit to Tehran on Monday.
As cease-fire negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue, discussions have shifted to Doha this week after previous rounds in Cairo failed to reach a final agreement. Lower-level talks are set to resume in Doha on Wednesday, with an Israeli delegation also expected to participate.
