US Envoy Weitkov Arrives in Tel Aviv Tomorrow Amid Rising Tensions with Iran

SadaNews - According to Channel 13, citing two sources, US envoy Steve Weitkov will arrive in Tel Aviv tomorrow amid increasing tensions with Iran.

Weitkov is expected to hold meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in addition to the Chief of Staff, to discuss recent developments in the region.

This visit comes at a sensitive time, as relations between Washington and Tel Aviv are seeing intense coordination regarding the Iranian file, especially after recent statements from Iranian officials concerning their military capabilities. Weitkov's meetings are expected to carry American messages regarding the US administration's stance on the potential escalation, as well as discuss ways to enhance security cooperation between the two sides.

The US envoy is also expected to address other regional issues, including the situation in the Gaza Strip, as well as Israel's relations with some Arab countries that have normalized relations in recent years.

Observers believe that Weitkov's visit may carry signals about the seriousness of the United States in supporting Israel during this phase, especially amid discussions of a potential wider military confrontation in the region if the escalation with Iran continues.
