Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer is traveling to Rome to meet with US special envoy Steve Witkoff tomorrow to discuss the ongoing ceasefire negotiations, according to an official familiar with the talks.

US officials said Witkoff planned to head to Europe this week. The US State Department spokesperson said yesterday that he was headed to the Middle East, although a source later told The Times of Israel that Witkoff only plans to visit Qatar if progress is made in negotiations.
