Qatari PM said slated to meet with top Trump officials in DC as US looks to boost ties after Israeli strike

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Thani will travel to Washington tomorrow for meetings with top US officials to discuss the aftermath of Israel’s strike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, Channel 12 says.

Al Thani will meet with US Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff and perhaps even President Donald Trump in an indication that Washington is looking to signal a boost in ties with Qatar against the backdrop of the strike.

Trump said earlier this week that he had instructed his aides to advance a new security agreement with Qatar, though the Gulf country already has the status of Major Non-NATO Ally. A new deal could perhaps see the sale of additional weapons or the dispatch of additional US troops to Qatar, Channel 12 says.
