White House Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff<\/a> is expected to arrive in Israel on Tuesday, this time without Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump\u2019s son-in-law. He is set to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and Mossad Director David Barnea.<\/p>\n

The visit comes against the backdrop of contacts with Iran<\/a>. Iran\u2019s Tasnim news agency reported earlier that Islamic Republic Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to meet Witkoff in the coming days. The meeting is likely to take place in Turkey, and ahead of it Witkoff wants to hear Israel\u2019s key positions for the negotiations \u2014 namely, what Jerusalem considers a good deal with the Iranians.<\/p>\n
