Efforts to strengthen ceasefire agreement/ JD Vance arrives in Israel

US Vice President JD Vance has arrived in Israel as part of the Trump administration's meetings to strengthen the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

He is expected to urge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to begin negotiations on long-term issues for a permanent end to the war with Hamas. The two US special envoys who helped negotiate the deal, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, also held talks with Netanyahu on Monday.

Their visits come after an outbreak of violence on Sunday that threatened to break a 12-day ceasefire. Israel said a Hamas attack killed two soldiers, prompting Israeli airstrikes that killed dozens of Palestinians.

US President Donald Trump insisted on Monday that the ceasefire was still on track, but also warned Hamas that it would be "disappeared" if it violated the agreement.

Trump has reportedly sent his deputy and envoys to Israel to maintain momentum and push for the start of talks on the critical second phase of his 20-point peace plan for Gaza.

This would include the establishment of an interim government in the Palestinian territory, the deployment of an international stabilization force, the withdrawal of Israeli troops, and the disarmament of Hamas.

Israel has previously said it will not join such talks until Hamas has returned all the hostages it has been holding./CNA, translated by BBC
