[Israeli Prime Minister Meets with US Special Envoy to Discuss Iran for Over 3 Hours] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with visiting US Middle East Special Envoy Joachim Witkov. The talks reportedly lasted over three hours. A statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said that Netanyahu told the US side during the meeting that "Iran has repeatedly proven itself to be untrustworthy and incapable of keeping any promises." Netanyahu also stated that the Palestinian Authority will not participate in the governance of the Gaza Strip in any way. Israel holds "uncompromising demands" for Hamas disarmament, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, and the completion of all war objectives. Netanyahu emphasized that reconstruction work in Gaza can only begin after all of these goals are achieved.
