Middle East updates: Trump to host meeting on post-war Gaza DW 08/27/2025
Briefly

US leadership will convene a meeting chaired by President Donald Trump with top US and Israeli officials to address post-war plans for Gaza. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet Israeli counterpart Gideon Sa'ar in Washington, D.C. Israel is expanding its Gaza City offensive and warns that displacement of the enclave's largest city is inevitable. The UN reports 1.9 million Gazans have been internally displaced since the 2023 war began. German Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan sought shelter after a Yemen-based Houthi missile strike, and IAEA inspectors have returned to Iran amid unresolved cooperation terms.
The White House's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said US President Donald Trump will chair a meeting with top US and Israeli officials on Wednesday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also due to meet his Israeli counterpart Gideon Sa'ar in Washington, D.C. The meetings come as Israel continues to expand its offensive in Gaza City, warning that a population displacement of the enclave's largest city is "inevitable."
Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have returned to Iran, authorities in Tehran confirmed Wednesday. The UN watchdog's inspectors had left the country in June in the wake of Israeli and US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Although IAEA director Rafael Grossi said the experts are set to resume their work, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iranian state television that there was still no agreement on how the UN-backed inspectors would cooperate with Iran.
