US Vice-President JD Vance has arrived in Israel as part of the Trump administration's efforts to strengthen the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which has been under threat following recent violence. His visit comes after a Hamas attack that resulted in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers, prompting Israeli airstrikes that killed dozens of Palestinians. Vance is expected to push for negotiations on a long-term peace plan, which includes establishing an interim government in Palestinian territories and disarming Hamas. The US is concerned about the potential collapse of the ceasefire, with Netanyahu indicating he will discuss security and political opportunities during Vance's visit. Despite the violence, both Hamas and Israel have expressed a commitment to the ceasefire, although tensions remain high as military actions continue.
