Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer will meet with US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff in London tonight, Channel 12 reports, calling the meeting a last-ditch effort to revive hostage-ceasefire talks.
Witkoff is in London with US President Donald Trump, who is making a state visit to the UK.
The report says the main stumbling block at the moment is that the Qatari mediators are unwilling to go forward at the moment following the failed Israeli strike on Hamas leaders in Doha.
The report says the US is pushing Israel to make some sort of gesture to mollify the Qataris.
