US President Donald Trump's senior envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to visit Israel for meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's military chief, two senior Israeli officials said on Monday.
The officials said Witkoff's visit to the country was expected to begin on Tuesday.
It comes as the Trump administration presses ahead with its plan to end the Gaza war.
A third Israeli official said Witkoff's meetings will be preparatory ahead of the talks possibly resuming and would follow up on a weekend meeting by Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir with his US counterpart General Dan Caine in Washington.
