Milan, 9 July (LaPresse) – US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff has postponed his flight to Doha, where he was due to attend talks between Israel and Hamas on a ceasefire in Gaza and an agreement for the release of hostages. Two sources familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel. According to the sources, Witkoff was initially scheduled to leave for Qatar yesterday, adding that a new departure date has not yet been set. The US envoy informed the mediators that he still intends to travel to Doha to help finalise the agreement. His decision to postpone the trip therefore indicates that much progress is still needed.
