Netanyahu to meet Trump's Middle East envoy

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with US President-elect Donald Trump’s designated Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, on Saturday.

Witkoff arrived in Israel earlier in the day from Doha, where he held talks with Qatar’s prime minister on Friday regarding a Gaza ceasefire and hostage negotiations.

Previously, Trump warned that there would be "hell to pay" if a deal is not reached before he enters office.
