The Qatari foreign ministry’s spokesperson has said that the US envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will be in Qatar to meet mediators to discuss the US-Iran negotiations, Reuters and AFP report.

“To the best of my knowledge, there are no direct meetings scheduled between the two parties in the coming days,” foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari told reporters in Doha, adding that the American team would meet with mediators.

“To my knowledge, there is no high-level meeting between the two sides.”

The remarks contrast with a White House official’s statements from yesterday that said a high-level meeting was planned to be held in Doha this week.
