Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held talks with his Qatari counterpart Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani regarding alleged Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon and Gaza, Tehran says in a statement.
Speaking by phone, the two expressed deep concern over the situation and both called for international pressure on Israel, a statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry says.
The talks come as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to fly to Florida to meet US President Donald Trump, where he is expected to seek American support for Israel to ramp up military action against the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.
The two are also expected to discuss Gaza and efforts to move beyond the ceasefire there to stage two of a Trump administration plan for the future of the territory, which Qatar played a key role in helping to broker.
There is no confirmation of the talks from Doha.
