United States Vice President JD Vance is traveling to Israel with Second Lady Usha Vance to support ongoing efforts to strengthen the Gaza ceasefire. During the visit, Vance is scheduled to meet with Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials to discuss the situation and reinforce diplomatic ties. The trip follows recent remarks from President Donald Trump, who cautioned Hamas against violating the ceasefire, stating that the group would face severe consequences but also expressing willingness to allow them an opportunity to uphold the agreement.
