Axios Claims Trump Held Talks with Qatar’s Prime Minister on Iran

Axios reported⁣ that the US president will meet with‍ Qatar’s Prime⁢ Minister today ⁢(Wednesday) to discuss ceasefire talks ‌in Gaza and the resumption ​of negotiations between Washington and Iran.

According to the English section​ of webangah News ​Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Reuters, Barak Ravid, a journalist for Axios, stated that during today’s⁢ meeting between⁤ US President Donald Trump and Qatar’s⁣ Prime ⁣Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani,⁣ the two sides⁣ will ⁢discuss a ceasefire in Gaza and ⁣also restarting talks between Washington and Tehran over ‌Iran’s nuclear program.

Reuters reports that israeli and Hamas negotiators have been meeting in Doha as July 6 for the latest⁤ round of​ ceasefire discussions. They have ⁤been considering a ⁣US proposal for a 60-day ceasefire that includes phased release of prisoners held by Hamas, Israeli troop withdrawals from ⁢parts​ of Gaza, and negotiations aimed at ending the war.

Steve​ Whitkoff, Trump’s ‍special envoy to West Asia, expressed hope ‌on Sunday regarding ongoing‌ ceasefire talks in ⁢qatar.

American, Qatari, and egyptian​ mediators are ‍working to secure an agreement;⁣ however, Israel and ‍Hamas remain at odds ⁢over the extent of ⁣final Israeli military withdrawals from Gaza.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reports that since October ‍2023-following attacks⁤ by israeli forces-over 58,000 Palestinians have⁢ been killed. The previous two-month ceasefire ended ​on march 18 after renewed attacks by occupier⁤ forces resulted in more than 400 Palestinian deaths.

Earlier this ⁤year, Trump proposed a plan for the US to “take control” over‌ Gaza. This ⁣proposal was widely condemned ⁤by ⁤world leaders, activists, legal experts-and described ​by Palestinians as “ethnic cleansing.”

The Axios journalist also cited ​an informed source claiming that during today’s meeting Trump and ‌Sheikh Mohammed are expected to discuss​ efforts ‍to resume negotiations between the US and iran aimed at achieving a new nuclear deal.
